September 2022[edit]

Hi Somerandomdude2022! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Dr. Know (band) 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.

Per WP:COI, is is heavily discouraged to edit articles to which you are personally related. I have added a note about your conflict of interest to the article's talk page. PopoDameron (talk) 22:53, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

when it's about my band i have every right to change or correct things to the truth. we just had to replace a band member because of legal troubles and the page was vandalized a few times. where were you then? and who makes these rules? it's wikipedia. don't take shit that isn't your business so personally Somerandomdude2022 (talk) 23:02, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Somerandomdude2022. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Dr. Know (band), 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 organizations 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 {{request edit}} template);
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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Hey man im josh (talk) 23:04, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
