However, if you decide to do it, the best approach is to correct the article in a way that any reasonable person would agree is fair.

Many times, they also lack experience in what may be achieved on Wikipedia, and how to achieve it. This can lead to serious misunderstandings or even a blocked account if they try to edit improperly. In such cases, it is better to stay calm if you can, seek help, discuss openly with editors, <i>and allow those experienced in article writing to help you</i>. Remember that we are writing an encyclopedia here. If you are seen to be working sincerely with other editors to make the article better, then you should be okay. That is the basic criterion by which we judge people here.</li> <li>Not every request can be met. Wikipedia is a reference work. If articles could be modified as their subjects wished, the encyclopedia would lose much of its value, because many people would want an article that was biased in favor of their own agendas. However, at a minimum, you should expect your article to be based on what reliable sources have actually said – and not sensationalist or prurient or "tabloid" sources. In most cases it is clear which is which, though there are cases where there is a real disagreement over which <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">sources are reliable</a>. These discussions should always take place on the talk page for that article.</li> <li>In some cases the "<a href="/wiki/Streisand_effect" title="Streisand effect">Streisand effect</a>" can mean that your involvement might draw a spotlight to the article or its past edits.

These include <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:EW" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:EW">edit warring</a> and other disruptive behavior, threats, games, refusing to discuss or listen, or editing to an agenda that does not match that of a neutral encyclopedia.

If only one or two tell you this, then (as above) ask in a different location to see if more experienced editors without prior involvement can advise. Wikipedia works on consensus and independent peer review, so the most common solution is to seek more people to review it.</li> <li>You may have to allow some time for these issues. Wikipedia's <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution" title="Wikipedia:Dispute resolution">dispute resolution</a> processes include everything from immediate intervention, to consensus-seeking, to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Committee" title="Wikipedia:Mediation Committee">mediation</a> (assisted discussion to reach a mutually agreeable solution).

It will help a lot if you at least act properly and calmly, and try to solve it yourself, so an administrator can easily see where the problem lies and that you have not managed to resolve it.

Also the person such material refers to, and the policy covering this.</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">NPOV</a></i> – Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, which is mandatory on every article on Wikipedia without exception. It broadly states that Wikipedia does not choose a single "preferred" view; rather it describes all views that have significant followings, in a balanced manner (with more authoritative views broadly given more "weight" in the article's balance), and written in a style and wording that discourages implied bias and encourages the reader to draw upon good quality cited information.</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COI" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COI">COI</a></i> – a conflict of interest. Broadly, where a person's editing or decisions may not necessarily be neutral in a situation due to a high level of personal connection to it. Can apply to anyone – administrators, users, or visitors. In this context, a person who is editing or discussing an article with which they also have a significant personal involvement.</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Users" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Users">Users</a></i> – <i>users</i> and <i>editors</i> are often terms used interchangeably on Wikipedia, since a person is only visible as using the site when they edit. When Wikipedia editors discuss users they often mean "users who edit as well", not just people who read the site for reference. All users/editors are volunteer members of the public.</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Administrator">Administrators</a></i> – despite their name, administrators are not a superior class of users. They are users who have built up enough communal confidence to be trusted to use potentially harmful tools such as page deletion, page protection and user blocking. Administrators are expected to be aware of policies, and helpful to users. They can use these tools to prevent problematic editing, or enforce communal norms as needed, in the event of persistent editing or other conduct matters that breach communal norms.</li></ul> <p>If you run into other unfamiliar lingo, try the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Glossary" title="Wikipedia:Glossary">full glossary</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Notes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Notes"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Notes"></span>Notes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Notes"></span></h2></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-lower-alpha"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Example: You were a witness at a crime, or the whistleblower on a fraud and got wide press coverage.
