Hi. I please and urgently need your assistance. For over a year, I have been in contact with Wiki and volunteers and have sent multiple news sources of information about me and my company. I have followed all the directions given and still have gotten no where. The old and outdated information is literally causing problems with media outlets I am interviewed on globally and is hurting my small female owned business.
The note about me not being significant enough on the top of my profile is also massively insulting and not accurate. Upon some digging, I think you'd find I appear on TV around the world, my shows are distributed around the world and I have a significant social following (500k+ on all our digital platforms).
For example the opening paragraph is work I did in 2012, there is almost nothing of the past 12 years which is significant. I am not a blogger! I am a travel journalist and an award-winning documentary filmmaker- my shows are seen all over the world.
The TV segments mentioned are all from before the pandemic, and I work in the travel industry, so the more recent ones post pandemic are more important to show how travel has shifted. I have also not taught at NYU since the pandemic - though I loved it, I have been traveling full time since June 2020 filming our shows SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY and OH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET with Michaela Guzy. None of our awards from film festivals appear. Even the conference that I spoke at and is mentioned is so old and pre-pandemic.
How can this urgently be resolved? Thank you for your help. I have worked very hard to build my business and can't have old and inaccurate information damage it.
Hi @Michaelaguzy, I’m away from my computer right now (sending this from my phone) so am unable to action this right now. If you could copy the document you’ve linked across to the talk page of the article, and list any changes you’d like made there (you’ll need to provide reliable sources per Wikipedia’s policy - news outlets reporting on your work or any interviews you’ve done would be great in this case) I’m happy to help out as soon as I can. This is so that I can process it as an edit request and provide credit to you for the changes.
With regards to the notability tag, that can be taken down with additional reliable sources (see WP:GNG) - I’ll review this tag when I’m back and will remove if policy allows, I imagine with these additional edits it is highly likely that it will be removed if it cannot be already, and I apologise that it has made you feel insulted, I’m happy to help you get that taken off.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am available for any questions you may have. Below please find an accurate and ideal bio. I don't care if Bravo and Tbex remain, but they are so old, I updated with the most current information. We've grown a lot. There are 18 credible sources too. Thank you!

Hi @Michaelaguzy, I've made a draft at User:Michaelaguzy/sandbox (please note this is not live on your Wikipedia page) of the proposed changes you'd like to make, but unfortunately it is not yet ready to be moved to the article. I've reworded/removed some sections that violated the WP:PROMO policy and there are still a number of issues with sources, since this article is about a person there's a very strict sourcing policy that needs to be followed. I've added tags to places where sources are needed, please see the link above.
I'd highly recommend you to read WP:RS and know that social media (including YouTube) are not classed as reliable sources on Wikipedia. Sources should also be secondary (i.e. report on by an independent third party such as a news website), and not paid for or written by you or your team. Unfortunately I'm unable to access the FOX content as it's region blocked in the UK, if that meets these requirements please feel free to add it.
I know it seems like a lot, but it's important that these policies are followed or else the article could be deleted altogether.
You're welcome to edit the draft yourself if you'd like, since it's not in article space and will still be reviewed before going live this does not go against the COI policy. Where I've placed citation needed tags - if one citation covers multiple of these tags it can be used more than once.
I hope that we're able to resolve the issues and bring your article up to date! :)
I'm also going to have a look for some sources online myself tomorrow so hopefully I can help there too. EncodedTalk 💬 22:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi! Thank you. I went in and added all the citations. For NYU I can send you a letter of my employment, but bc the course is no longer offered it is no longer on the website. Otherwise you should have more than enough 3rd party citations. How do I save the changes without publishing them? Michaelaguzy (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Michaelaguzy, the draft provided can be saved as if you are editing any normal page without publishing to your main article. When you're ready to submit for review and for it to be published, message me and I can start that process if you need.
Whilst you have provided many third-party citations some of them do not meet the requirements of a reliable source. Please read WP:SOURCE. I also unfortunately do not have time to watch the interviews to insert them into the relevant places in the article, if you're able to do that I imagine they will take a large chunk of the areas that need sourcing.
Hi. The page only gives me the option to publish and not to save. Do you see all the edits? I added third party sources for everything. These are major news outlets or travel industry news. I also put the sources directly next to CBS if it was the CBS news interview or my article on Thrive Global etc. Do you see? The only challenge re source as mentioned is my NYU Course which I taught until 2020, they don't keep old ciricculum up. I am happy to send my employment letter or I included my LinkedIn which shows the NYU logo and description and dates of my course. Thank you Michaelaguzy (talk) 16:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
[1] this link is where I added all the citations exactly behind what was being discussed (travel conference, tv segment etc). I couldn't figure out how to make it a little number so I copied the link directly into the copy. I also cant sort how to save, it only gives me the option to publish. Do you see all the edits I made? Everyone of your citation questions has been addressed on my end. I will copy and paste below. I also noticed that the first bit was old and repetitive to the updated bio, so I combined the sections. Thank you! Michaelaguzy (talk) 16:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi! Just wanted to check in. Thank you for update! Michaelaguzy (talk) 21:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
She is the founder of the editorial content house, OhThePeopleYouMeet focusing on people, places and purposes, which she founded in 2012 after departing her corporate job as the VP/Global Travel and Strategic Development for American Express Publishing.[4]
== Early life ==
Guzy was born in Missouri where she was raised before graduating from Spring Hill College[5] and moving to New York City.
Sorry for the multi messages, I couldn't get above to send to you without deleting this article I wrote for Thrive Global. I am not sure why Thrive by Arianna Huffington would be blacklisted? She is a reputable journalist and this is a reputable media company - it won't even let me send you a link here to her or my article for the reputable news site featuring Dr. Jane Goodall and sustainable tourism in Sierra Leone? Michaelaguzy (talk) 16:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Michaela, no worries with regards to the multi messages, I've updated your draft adding sources provided (no need to worry about the NYU, I found a source online). Please let me know what you think.
The publish button on that page just saves the draft, it doesn't publish to your main page. It's a weird way of putting it but that's what they decided on I suppose.
Hi. I hope you had a lovely weekend. I wanted to follow up on above and see when you are able to consider the edits being made please? Thank you Michaelaguzy (talk) 01:27, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Michaelaguzy, I've added the above info to the User:Michaelaguzy/sandbox draft. If you're happy with how the draft looks let me know and I'll go ahead and move it across to your main page. EncodedTalk 💬 10:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi. Thank you. So a couple things. The box under my photo says travel blogging, which is not what I am known for. I am known as a travel journalist and documentary filmmaker.
There is a lot of old info leading and repetitive information in the work section. Below accounts for the repetition and puts more recent/relevant info first and includes the older info at the end (sorry for strange spacing):
Hiiiii! Just wanted to check in on above and see if you had any questions? THANK YOU! Michaelaguzy (talk) 00:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Michaela, really sorry for taking so long to get back to you - I've been off Wikipedia for a bit but am back now! I've published the draft to the Michaela Guzy page and added the above changes, if you have any further requests please let me know. Thanks :) EncodedTalk 💬 23:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi! I can't figure out how to respond to your last edit. THANK YOU! The only thing if I was looking at the latest version, was it still says travel blogging under my photo, how do we change to Travel Journalist and Documentary Filmmaker? I don't blog:) Any chance I can send an additional photo? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Michaelaguzy (talk) 23:21, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Michaelaguzy, no problem! I've fixed that, sorry I missed it. Yes you can absolutely send in a new/additional photo. If you could upload it to Wikipedia:File upload wizard then send me a link to it I'm happy to put it in. EncodedTalk 💬 06:53, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am so grateful for you! Yes, I will upload the photo. THANK YOU! Michaelaguzy (talk) 16:58, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for adding these 3. I am happy to have the current picture remain too. Have a lovely weekend Michaelaguzy (talk) 17:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Done :) Have a great weekend as well! EncodedTalk 💬 21:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Encoded, I hope you and your university studies are going well. You kindly helped me in Dec/Jan with my first Wikipedia page, so I hope you don't mind me asking you to review another one for me: Draft:Nicole Sahin. When you have a moment, could you please take a look at it and let me know if it's ready for publishing? Many thanks, Kate :) KWriteReturn (talk) 01:57, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @KWriteReturn, unfortunately I'm unable to review today and may be unable to until next week. I have added a button to your draft page that when clicked will submit to other editors for review if you'd prefer it to be done faster. If not, I'll have a look as soon as I can. Sorry! Thanks, EncodedTalk 💬 10:46, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @KWriteReturn, I've published the article to Nicole Sahin, I'd just recommend adding some categories but it looks good to me! EncodedTalk 💬 20:55, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

hi Lew, yes as i am challenged when it comes to computers, BUT it is important to me that the correct , or any information is lodged on my district that i was born in
I am a little sight impaired but its more important in this time to get the facts down as i believe i am the last connection.
i couldn't believe that there was no history on Takahue!? its like it has all being deleted! but i guess its because the change in society is so instant that its being forgotten.
i had to learn f/b as a way to communicate through Asia
SO, i have made my first add on a photo of Takahue because a guy at Papatoetoe Library got me in rolled by adding the photograph map of Takahue.
my next attempt will be the comment on the river view taken and added!
i am trying to add an original photo of the same place 80 years ago.
Warwick --Kaipaua (talk) 05:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm glad to hear you're looking to improve the Wiki page for Takahue, I've had a look at the page's edit history and checked if anything has been removed. A history section has not been deleted but it was never added, if you're able to add one that would be amazing!
If you need any help or have any questions please feel free to send me a message. I'm UK-based, so might not be able to answer questions specific to Takahue, but I am happy to help with any Wiki-related queries such as questions about editing, uploading images, policies, etc. You can send me a message here or email me.
Hi, great to here from you. I am lining up my ducks, only yesterday I found one of the boxes of photos. I am a mechanic that had trouble understanding manuals!
yet I understand the importance of preserving history.
I am surprised that anyone can add photos without actual proof, like the one of the road that I edited.
the same as the one of the river?
i am trying to contact the daughter of the one that posted the photo of the marei, as I hear he has died.
I have a cousin that lives up there and has all the paper clippings on the destruction of the locals burning the school and hall down.
when I get more info I am going to spend time up there. there is a big museum up there but they will not talk to me? seems all funding has withdrawn.
As you can see I do go on but there is alot to unwrap.
thanks for your words of support Kaipaua (talk) 19:58, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate you reviewing my draft (Draft:Dibindi al Kour) and I now understand why it has been declined. I look to use the tips provided to create a better article on another topic in the future. Do you have any ideas of a potential article that is not yet on Wikipedia and that has many reliable and lengthy sources that I could create? EditorBulwark (talk) 10:18, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, @EditorBulwark, there's plenty of different topics you could look at adding! With regards to your Draft:Dibindi al Kour, the notability policy for places says Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low so an article on it will be accepted, I just think it needs a few more sources, ideally 3. You can use government census information, news stories, etc.
If you have any more questions please let me know! EncodedTalk 💬 12:05, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Also, you can use H:FIND to help you find references! Once you've added a few more you can resubmit the draft. Thanks EncodedTalk 💬 12:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Encoded, I made a Talk page post requesting to further update the Litigation section of the NextEra Energy article with more accurate information that you might be interested in. Another editor reviewed part of it but said they wanted a third editor to take a look. I also saw that you have reviewed a few proposed articles. If you are at all interested, I actually did make a whole new draft for the article that revises the whole thing in a way I hope is more accurate, more neutral, and uses better overall sourcing than the current article. I also made a diff to go along with it and a post on the draft Talk page explaining the changes I made. If you had any feedback to offer on it I'd really appreciate the insight. Thank you so much!
