January 2015 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page SJK 171 has been reverted.
Your edit here to SJK 171 was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crLcDxVewyU) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:12, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest on SJK 171 edit
Hello, Johnnyrare. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page SJK 171 , 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, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with 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).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You've indicated that https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blue_Sky_1972.JPG, which is purportedly by SJK 171, is your own work. If so, then you shouldn't be editing an article about SJK 171 BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 12:28, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

May 2019 edit
Hello Johnnyrare. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to SJK 171, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Johnnyrare. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Johnnyrare|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Graywalls (talk) 15:28, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
I am not being paid or compensated I am a fan correcting information and you guys keep erasing it even though I am adding credible information with cited sources..
Can you please explain to me why I am not allowed to make changes with factual information?
The image was uploaded as own work as an accident as I thought that was the correct way to upload a picture I took. I took the image of the work when it was hanging in a gallery. I am adding citations but they keep getting removed? I am a huge fan of street art and am giving credit to many historical names such as TAKI 183, SNAKE 1 etc.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyrare (talk • contribs) 17:53, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding to state you're not receiving compensation. The concerns arise due to the nature of your edits. Your edit history has been confined exclusively to SJK 171 and the contents look promotional of the subject which suggests you may have a close personal or professional connection with the subject. A different page closely related to the subject United Graffiti Artists had been deleted twice so there's an indication of promotional activity around this subject. Graywalls (talk) 06:29, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response on my talk page. As noted above, the reason there's been concern here is that when an account only edits one article, does so very extensively, and that article is about an actual person, it's very often the case that the editor either is the subject of the page, or has a close connection to them, both of which violate the Conflict of Interest policy. Good to know that doesn't apply in this case. I'll go back through and re-insert the citations you added in SJK 171. Regarding the intro section (called a lead or lede), that's generally supposed to be a short description of the person, so listing an array of other graffiti artists of the same vintage doesn't really fit there. Thanks for your contributions - I'd encourage you to look at other articles in your areas of interest, and find ways to improve them as well! BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 12:45, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
