Please help me with... What is the reason for this : "Tags: Visual edit possible BLP issue or vandalism"
This came up after I added the information about his wife founding a nonprofit organization. She also has a Wikipedia page which states the same information.
"He married Leslie Baker Graves in 1983.[12] Graves founded the Lucy Burns Institute, a nonprofit organization that publishes Ballotpedia.[41][42]"

Hi TheFinalTrophyWife! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as
typo corrections or reverting obvious
vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see
Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. -

Please help me with... How do I Deal with a Self-Referential article in citations ...?
I’m New. How do I Deal with a Self-Referential article in citations? If a Wikipedia Page includes citations that are provided from the Subjects own Personal Website, or a website that they are in control of, what is the protocol? Should it be deleted? Is it Flagged? Also, what it the correct terminology for this sort of citation?
For example:
From the Leslie Graves Wiki Article:
/info/en/?search=Leslie_Graves_(nonprofit_executive)
‘Graves has also worked as a homemaker, in community theater, and in Catholic ministry.[10]’
The citation linked is to the website of the Non-profit run by Leslie Graves:
http://www.lucyburns.org/about/our-staff
but then it runs through to the website Ballotpedia.org, which is also run by Leslie Graves :
https://ballotpedia.org/Lucy_Burns_Institute
What would be the proper protocol to handle this kind of situation?
Thank you..
