Also a list of the accolades I have received for my creative project was deleted? Some edits made by other users were restored from the past that are either incorrect or are of less importance than the edits I tried to make. (For example, there is a edit restored made by another user about one of the festivals I have played years ago, yet my own edit about winning a award for best video were deleted.) Please help me understand so I can edit correctly? I only want my creative project to be represented accurately. Airheart13 (talk) 17:56, 5 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Airheart13. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Hurray for the Riff Raff, 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. Thank you.
