Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, 75.82.150.11. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jeff Pollack (music executive), 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 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. MrOllie (talk) 23:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 01:19, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Your edit to Jeff Pollack (music executive) has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

 * This help desk question is related to both warnings.


 * I can't help you with the first edit because it was removed by oversight or revdel, meaning it is not visible to ordinary editors. But you can't copy word for word what is said in a source in most cases. In the second case you added a lot of information cited to imdb, which is not considered a reliable source because a lot of the information is user-generated. I think some information on imdb is considered reliable because of how it gets added, but Wikipedia consensus is to not use imdb at all, and if the information is worth including, another source will have it.


 * Also, anything that sounds promotional must be sourced. Each paragraph should have at least one source. The idea is that someone independent of the subject of the article is making the promotional-sounding statements (such as best in the field), which can be acceptable. If the subject of the article is saying it, that is not verifiable.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  19:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
