Hello 2A02:8109:B6BF:3684:391B:F404:C49C:F45C. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Jonas Kaufmann, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:2A02:8109:B6BF:3684:391B:F404:C49C:F45C. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. SovalValtos (talk) 22:04, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Jonas Kaufmann - you say you are his publicist, - ideally you should stay away from his article. Please make an account, and declare this conflict of interest (WP:COI) on your user page, for transparency. The "highlights" you added read a bit promotional, and are not formatted as the rest, - please learn. Beginning every sentence with a year is repetitive. Please add composers to operas, because our readership is mixed, and you can't expect them to know who composed an opera. - Calling Voceditenore. - We had an edit conflict. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Next: you use the Vienna State Opera for a reference for Grimes, but it doesn't support that it was his role debut. Also: an independent review would be better. Back to: You are involved and should stay away from his article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:19, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
