Please avoid marketing and promotional language

Crap language like, "responsible for the production and distribution of scores of successful and acclaimed comedy albums, series, and specials... spearheaded by trailblazing producer <redacted> who is known for is innovate and accomplished approach to producing comedy material... <redacted> should be undeleted due to its cultural significance in media and sprawling presence in comedy production" reeks of press release bullshit, and will get you blocked in a nanosecond. We don't want and will not tolerate promotion. What we require is fully-sourced impartial information from reliable, neutral, third-party sources with no financial interest in the subject. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:31, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, ColePhilipJames. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ben Rector, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI 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 (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI 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).

Editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Your interest in music is very limited. You are what we call a single-purpose account. This is why I am somewhat suspicious. If you have an affiliation with Ben Rector, you should state it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:38, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
