Hello, Ginomaces, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! -- DanielKlotz (talk · contribs) 00:06, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Help request: Simon Fuller page edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

{{Help me}} I’m writing regarding Simon Fuller’s Wikipedia page. It’s not entirely accurate, concise, nor up to date, and several citations contain dead links. I have a COI as I work for Mr Fuller, so I'd like to ask how to clean the page of irregularities (repetition, out of date claims, dead citations, promotion of other individuals, poor use of language) and then lock it?

The edits I’d like to suggest contain citations for factual support to comply with Wiki editing protocols. They retain a neutral POV, use non-judgemental language, and are drawn only from reliable, published sources. Wikipedia states that editors with close association may be in conflict if they contribute to an article in a manner that removes relevant, well-sourced information. I’ve not done this. I have rearranged existing information to make the text more concise. I have included below demonstration of my attempted edit vs. the version online.


My edit:

Simon Fuller is certified as the most successful British music manager of all time by Billboard magazine. [1][2] He has managed the career of Annie Lennox since 1991 and other songwriters including Cathy Dennis, who met Fuller as the singer of D Mob in the 1980s. [3] In 2002 Fuller's company discovered 19-year-old Amy Winehouse, produced her first award-winning album and signing her to Universal Music. [4]

Fuller managed the Spice Girls through the peak of their 1990s success and he remains in partnership with the five girls today.[5][6] Under Fuller’s guidance, the Spice Girls became a marketing phenomenon, rose to chart topper status worldwide and went on to sell over 85 million records.[7][8]


Previous version:

Simon Fuller has been certified as the most successful British music manager of all time by Billboard magazine.[1][9] He has managed the career of Annie Lennox since the release of her multi platinum album Diva in 1991.[10] He has managed hit songwriters and producers, most notably Cathy Dennis, who first met Fuller as the singer of D Mob in the 1980s. Under Fuller's guidance, Dennis became the UK's No. 1 female songwriter with a string of hits for artists including Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Pink, Will Young and others.[11]

Fuller managed the Spice Girls through the peak of their 1990s success and he remains in partnership with the five girls today.[12][13] Under Fuller’s guidance, the Spice Girls became a marketing phenomenon, rose to chart topper status worldwide and went on to sell over 85 million records.[14][15]

  • You don't need to close this help request, but the proper way for someone with a COI to propose edits is to make a formal edit request(click for instructions) on the article talk page(Talk:Simon Fuller). You actually have the general format correct above- it's just here instead of on the article talk page. 331dot (talk) 21:02, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm closing the help request. As you should now be aware, the edit request needs to be made at Talk:Simon Fuller. You seem to be pretty close to having a request that can be acted on by a non-involved editor. Edit requests using the {{request edit}} get extra attention, more specifically likely to help you than {{help me}} requests. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 22:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
