sole admin rights[edit]

Dear Wikipedia,

I am writing to request that I be given sole admin rights as the chief editor of Peter Kimbowa's biography on your website. As a close associate of Mr. Kimbowa, I am in a unique position to provide accurate and up-to-date information about his life and work, and I am committed to maintaining the integrity and accuracy of his Wikipedia page.

Given my close relationship with Mr. Kimbowa, I am best placed to make informed decisions about what content should be included on his page and to ensure that all information presented is accurate, verifiable, and neutrally written. By granting me sole admin rights, I will be able to take full responsibility for ensuring that Mr. Kimbowa's Wikipedia page remains a reliable and authoritative source of information about his life and work.

I understand that Wikipedia operates on the principle of collaborative editing, and I am committed to working with other editors to ensure that Mr. Kimbowa's page is as comprehensive and accurate as possible. However, I believe that granting me sole admin rights is necessary to maintain the quality and accuracy of the content presented.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,

Please read Wikipedia:Ownership of content, also WP:COI and probably WP:PAID. There is simply no way to give you "sole admin rights" to the article. Regards, Lectonar (talk) 13:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@2gule That is not the way that Wikipedia works. The policy is stated at WP:OWN, in particular No one, no matter what, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular article. You do not say what your relationship to Kimbowa is but from your statement it is clear that you have a conflict of interest. Please read that linked page. Because of that COI, the correct way to suggest alterations to the article is via an {{edit request}} (click for instructions). Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:09, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the politeness of your request, 2gule. Simple answer: No. Not only for the reasons Lectonar and Mike Turnbull have given you, but also because when you say "I am in a unique position to provide accurate and up-to-date information about his life and work" you're implying that the sources you hope to use are not available to other people. If a source is only available to you, then it's not usable for Wikipedia. -- Hoary (talk) 13:18, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
