Linking

edit

Greetings. Please read this guideline on how to link names within a track listing, particularly this paragraph:

"Note the standard method of attributing songwriters—write (and link) the full name the first time it appears, and then just give the last name (unless the first initial or entire first name is necessary to disambiguate it, as in the Gallagher brothers of Oasis, or Brad and Brett Warren of The Warren Brothers)."

Hope that helps. All the best. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:48, 19 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andy Wright (music producer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dave Stewart. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Rebecca Poole aka Purdy moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Rebecca Poole aka Purdy, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ─ The Aafī (talk) 15:21, 12 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Sunray77. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Andy Wright (music producer), 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:

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. BrigadierG (talk) 13:11, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Sunray77: How goes it? I see you have been adding a whole bunch of discogs references to the article. Discogs is not a reliable sources. This is a WP:BLP and there is clear rules on what can be added. Discogs is not one of them. It is user-generated site and is unreliable. If you add another discogs entry into that article I plan to take to you to the administrator noticeboard WP:ANI and I will attempt to get you fully blocked for disruptive editing off of Wikipedia or at the least get you page blocked. You being disruptive and its not cool and folk are tired of it. Lastly, since you seem to have a conflict of interest, it seems to be quite clear. The standard mechanism is to use Edit Requests in this case to update the article. You make a request on the talk page and an uninvolved editor will review the edit request and determine if its a valid statement backed by a WP:SECONDARY source. That fixes the coi problem. I intend to copyedit the article. scope_creepTalk 19:14, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
