User:Devotionalensemble
Given that you used almost exactly the same phrasing in the article above as the previous blocked user, I suspect that you are the same person. If so, I strongly suggest you read WP:COI and do not attempt to recreate the article. пﮟოьεԻ  5  7  13:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I am the same person, I am trying to publish a factual page about my band... is this against the rules? I've read WP:COI and I'm not trying to use Wiki for promotional purposes only factual. Is there anything I can do get this published or is forbidden for indiviuals with a direct interest in a subject to be published? Thanks.Alanstalin 14:11, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It isn't completely banned, but it is strongly discouraged. Also, no offence, but your band does not appear to be at all notable, a requirement for any article on Wikipedia. 48 hits on Google is not impressive, especially when a great number of them are myspace. Any article on them will continue to be deleted until there is some assertion of notability such as articles about them in national papers etc. пﮟოьεԻ   5  7  14:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Sounds Recorded by Steve Albini page
Hi - A page I created recently - Sounds Recorded by Steve Albini (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sounds_Recorded_by_Steve_Albini) - has been redirected to the Spare Snare page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spare_Snare).

Anyone know why this might be?

Many thanks

Conflict of interest
From what I can gather from the above 2007 conversation you are a member of Devotional Ensemble which is itself made up of members of Spare Snare. So any edits that you make to connected pages are without a doubt conflict of interest edits. As such you should not create connected pages without going through WP:AFC and not make any more edits to the pages that exist without going through an WP:Edit request.

Wikipedia is not a promotional tool for you or your interests regardless of their notability and not a free web hosting service. Conflict of interest editing is not forbidden but strongly discouraged. --Dom from Paris (talk) 10:06, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Dom from Paris - Thank you for the information. I'm not too familiar with the procedures for conflict of interest edits and self promotion but I'll certainly read up on them. I was unaware I should disclose conflicting articles. Thanks again for the info. Alanstalin (talk) 09:41, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
