User talk:Aflippa

Welcome!
Hello, Aflippa, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Rockfest Records, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

 * Thank you for the message. I hope I'm doing this reply correctly. I would love to get this page published, and I've been learning about citing and reading up on everything you sent me. In all honesty, I am working for the record label in mention, but I'm not getting paid to create the Wikipedia page for Rockfest Records. We're getting quite a bit of attention in the music industry and so I wanted to create a page for more credibility. I completely understand how that can be a Conflict of Interest, and I would like to work towards doing everything I can to publish this page within Wikipedia's standards and guidelines.
 * Would you happen to have any other information on what I did wrong with this page (i.e. citing credible sources, how I can work with the Conflict of Interest guidelines, etc. ?) Your info and help is much appreciated! Thanks Aflippa (talk) 18:47, 4 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm moving the Help me template you applied to my Talk page here. I will leave your request for help open however as I have nothing else to add to what I told you above. Jalen Folf   (talk)  23:08, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Your next action should be to create your user page and add a simple statement like: "I am working for Rockfest Records, but I'm not getting paid to create the Wikipedia page." That will answer the conflict-of-interest and paid editing questions. Then we can talk about what changes you could make. Until you have created a draft that is accepted, it's best to simply leave the existing redirect in place. When the draft is accepted, the reviewer will take care of moving the article on top of the redirect.
 * You can use the Article Wizard to start your draft. You will probably need more material than you attempted to add with this edit. I suggest you find some independent reporting about the label in, perhaps, music trade magazines, that provide some significant coverage that you can summarize to start your draft. Anything you happen to know from working there cannot be used directly - you have to use your knowledge to figure out where information about the company has been published, then cite those sources.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 03:10, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
