User talk:SevenGenerationsResearch

February 2026

Hello, SevenGenerationsResearch. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Texas Band of Yaqui Indians, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the Edit Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Yuchitown (talk) 03:01, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, we welcome your contributions as well. I am not affiliated with the Texas Band of Yaqui Indians or any related organization, and I do not know anyone involved personally. My edits on Texas Band of Yaqui Indians and related topics are based on published secondary and governmental sources, and I have no financial or promotional interest in the subject. I understand the guidance at WP:COI and will continue to follow Wikipedia’s policies on WP:NPOV and WP:V, including using article talk pages for any potentially controversial changes.

However, you wrote, I am a genealogist working with state-recognized Native communities... (DIFF). Yuchitown (talk) 04:31, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the concern, and I understand that all content about any tribe—federal, state-recognized, or unrecognized—needs to be supported by independent reliable sources per WP:V and WP:RS. My intent in identifying state-recognized tribes is not promotional, but to accurately summarize what state and governmental documents already say, with proper citations.

I also understand that WP:COI is about having a close personal, professional, or financial connection to the subject, not about having subject-matter knowledge or interest. I do not have any financial or organizational role with any of those tribes or other groups I’m editing about, but I’m happy to take a cautious approach and use article talk pages and edit requests for substantial or potentially controversial changes so other editors can review the sources and wording.

I’m trying to focus on improving content with reliable sources and neutral wording. Comments that characterize my good-faith edits as dishonest or promotional feel personal rather than about the content, and I’d appreciate it if we could keep discussion focused on specific sources and policy (e.g., WP:V, WP:RS, WP:NPOV).

I’m not here to argue about personalities, only to summarize what independent sources say about state-recognized tribes. If you believe any of my edits violate policy, please point to the specific text and policy so we can address it constructively, or we can seek a third opinion or noticeboard input per WP:DR instead of continuing personal back‑and‑forth.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at State-recognized tribes in the United States, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. See WP:RSPWP. —KuyaMoHirowo (talk • contribs) 03:12, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wait. Your first 2 edits to State-recognized tribes in the United States was:

The first edit was added as a Wikipedia's unreliable source per WP:RSPWP (diff) and
The second edit seems okay.

If I made a mistake, feel free to revert it. Thank you. —KuyaMoHirowo (talk • contribs) 03:23, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note I’m learning as I go. You’re right that Wikipedia itself shouldn’t be used as a source per WP:RSP/WP:CIRCULAR, and I won’t use it that way going forward. I appreciate you keeping the second; I’ll be more careful to cite only independent reliable sources in future edits. SevenGenerationsResearch (talk) 05:59, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts (but never when editing articles). There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:40, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
