  Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Scarlett Johansson, you may be blocked from editing. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

This was not vandalism. It was a simple error during an edit. Please ignore & revert back to previous as the Scarlett info was actually correct. Thank you. Zandor75 (talk) 05:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Breaking Point (band), you may be blocked from editing. Just stop, OK? If you want to do something useful, find secondary sources. Also, explain your relationship to the band. Drmies (talk) 02:19, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Zandor75. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 article subjects 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. Drmies (talk) 02:19, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm a Memphis native, the home of the actual registered trademark Breaking Point (Registered Trademark w/ the USPTO as well as common use which I already provided citations). I'm a former music industry student & Windup Records (Now Bicycle Music) historian. I work in concert promotions and have been a longtime follower of the band since they were known as Broken in 1998. They renamed as Breaking Point due to trademark issues. There's a group of girls from Miami (Amanda Dorta?? Patricia Mallo??) that I know for a fact were never issued the name from Windup Records or any member of Breaking Point (remember I live in Memphis - promotors talk), yet Wikipedia keeps allowing this Hoaxing Vandalism to appear. All the other info on the page was factual. Breaking Point Spotify & YouTube links were provided for further information and proof of Trademark common use.

So YES you have a conflict of interest; I asked you to read the policy and guidelines, and apparently you didn't. You certainly didn't act accordingly.
As for the other matter: this whole naming/trademark thing, it's boring and tedious. The article is being disrupted? Ask for an administrator to intervene. But you reverting the edits where I removed unverified information, completely in agreement with policy, that's asinine--and in effect you are turning the article into an advertisement. If you do that again, you will no doubt be blocked. Now I'm going to look at the other idiots messing with the article; in the meantime, there are two positive things that you can do: find the secondary sources that support content for this article, and properly declare your interest. If I need to explain to you what secondary sources are, you just need to learn what an encyclopedia is first. Drmies (talk) 03:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Again, FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. You sound like a God Damned Fucking Liberal. Good luck with that Fuckhead. Zandor75 (talk) 03:21, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well that explains it. 2600:1700:63D1:4060:195A:7697:BAF7:49D8 (talk) 17:55, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
