User talk:Al1love

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Alex Acosta (director), 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.

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. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Kj cheetham (talk) 10:16, 4 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey KJ, I really appreciate this info and sorry for any issue I might have caused. I followed your steps and requested a name changed immediately.
 * I will double check with you or another editor prior to any additional edits. I do 2-3 more music videos with celebrities to add and 2 more commercials, should I get you or someone to proof read it as well ?
 * I want to make sure this never happens again so thank you and sorry once more. Mralexacosta (talk) 11:09, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Also what else would you need me to do today or in general for that message on top of the page to be removed, again I want to fully comply with all and hopefully this will be the last time I'm in error. Mralexacosta (talk) 11:12, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your reply. First thing, are you Alex Acosta from the Alex Acosta (director) article? If so, you need to declare that and I'd recommend avoiding editing the article beyond correcting very minor issues, and only proposing changes to the article's talk page. A new page reviewer will review the article in due course, who may remove the tag from the page. Thanks. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:18, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes I am Alex Acosta. Copy I thought I'll eliminate the back and forth the editors since I know all the info and can update and real time but quickly see that wasn't the best idea. As you mentioned only small errors. I've been familiar with wiki for years ( I'm Flo Rida Road manager as well ) so with the label they were always going in updating this page. so I should of known better. I will use the talk page from here on out. Thank you again for the heads up and how to move forward. Mralexacosta (talk) 11:23, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I've posted another message below this, which is just the standard message about COI, which may be helpful to you. A key part of Wikipedia is WP:VERIFY, so you knowing all the info isn't what matters, as everything should be possible to verify from a published sourced (ideally a WP:SECONDARY source in some cases). Unfortunately it is a lot of things to be aware of behind the scenes! But there's often people willing to help. :) If you have any specific issues people at WP:TEAHOUSE are friendly. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * P.S. I've modified Talk:Alex Acosta (director) to include a declaration. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:56, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey KJ, I was locked out for a bit for the name changed submission. Thanks again for help/info on that. Looking over your last few messages now Al1love (talk) 13:19, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Mralexacosta. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Alex Acosta (director), 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, clients, 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. Kj cheetham (talk) 11:49, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
