Hello, Avanjordan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article A. Van Jordan, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thanks so much for the added information to the A. Van Jordan entry. As you see above, Wikipedia discourages direct editing by anyone with a personal relationship to a given subject, but even if you do have a conflict of interest, we still greatly appreciate the information to improve entries: a great way to help, in the event you do have a conflict, is to put a note on the entry's talk page giving the information and/or sources for info (any available secondary sources are the best!), and I or another editor will be very glad to help incorporate it in accordance with COI policies (I will keep an eye on the page). Thanks for your understanding and your contributions. All best, Innisfree987 (talk) 00:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
