Managing potential conflicts of interest
Hello, 2001:BB6:BA1:B500:700D:C173:383B:5295. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Pete Murray (DJ), 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:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * 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 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:55, 2 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello. If you are the person who has used this IP address and others in the same range, there have been attempts on more than one talk page to communicate with you. However, since the IP address has changed numerous times, it is possible that you have not seen any of the messages. Since there is no other way of guaranteeing that you do see further messages, I am going to temporarily block the account from editing, and in the block notice you will see, direct your attention to this page.


 * As you will see from the message above, the editing you have been doing appears to be in conflict with Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest, and possibly also with the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use. Please read that message carefully. Pete Murray does not own the Wikipedia article about him, and he does not have the right to decide what it contains. If he wishes to have a web page which shows only the information about him which he want to be there, then he can do so on his own web site, if he has one (or create one if he hasn't). Wikipedia is not a service for people to publish the view of themselves that they wish to promote, and a Wikipedia article should reflect its subject from a neutral outsider's point of view. Since it is clear that you have been editing on behalf of Pete Murray, you must not continue to edit the article about him, but if you think there are changes that should be made to that article you can explain at Talk:Pete Murray (DJ) what those changes are and the reason why they should be made, and ask for an independent editor to decide whether to make those changes. However, please note that the fact that Pete Murray would like the article changed in a particular way is not a reason for doing so.


 * If you understand the issues involved, and are willing to make sure you don't make the same mistakes again, you can ask to be unblocked. To do so, first read the guide to appealing blocks, and then add the text at the bottom of the page In place of the words "Your reason here" give an explanation of why you should be unblocked. If your explanation persuades an administrator that you understand the reason for the block and that you will in future comply with the requirements mentioned in the message above, then that administrator can unblock you.

 * Another point that you should be aware of is that if you find other editors disagree with your editing of an article, you should not just keep repeatedly reverting the article to the version you prefer. Instead, explain the reasons why you think your version should be preferred, and be prepared to discuss the matter, in the hope of reaching agreement. Repeatedly reverting other editor's changes to one's own preferred version, know as "edit-warring", is regarded as unhelpful, and editors who persist in doing so may be blocked from editing. You may read Wikipedia's policy on edit-warring if you wish to have a fuller account. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 14:46, 4 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Do you have a personal connection to the subject of the article Maxi (singer), as you evidently have in the case of Pete Murray? JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 15:03, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
