Consequence of Sound reviews

edit

  Hello, Zanderporter. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 23:53, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Dude, just stop adding the 11th review to all these articles. Consequence of Sound is not a major website or publication to have its reviews be so important, anyway. If you continue to add the CoS reviews to articles you will be seen as edit warring.—Ryulong (琉竜) 01:42, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) 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.

Thank you. —Ryulong (琉竜) 02:16, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Are you are are you not being paid for your services? This is an important question.—Ryulong (琉竜) 17:39, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

You still haven't told me why it's important. And where is the information on Wikipedia that says it's important? Zander Porter (talk) 17:49, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oh, interesting. I thought the issue would've arisen from receiving no pay. But the article makes sense now. No, I'm not being paid. Zander Porter (talk) 19:19, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
