Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Alherro. 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 Herron, 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.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Alex Herron) for undeclared and non-neutral COI editing. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * Obviously your username is problematic too, but I can only place one block at a time. If you cannot understand how encyclopedic articles need to be neutral, then you need to stay away from them, really. Now, you were asked to look at our policy and guidelines for editors with a conflict of interest, and to properly declare that conflict, and you refused to do so and went right back to inserting the "award-winning" fluff and all that. Blocking you from editing the article is the mildest restriction I could place on your account. Drmies (talk) 16:00, 19 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Drmies, hope you are well.
 * I was cleaning up my bio, as it was dated. I was only updating it, and my previous producer had written one that was badly written.
 * here is my updated Bio, if that helps :) I also removed the list of music videos, as it only is a % of my work and I don't know how to add the other ones as well.
 * hoping you'll unblock me.
 * best
 * Alex

He is mostly known for his music videos, racking up billions of views and awards for some of the biggest names in the industry. Alex was raised in a filmmaking family and as a child, he often joined his mother on shoots around the world while she worked, inspiring him to get into the industry as well. Living in Los Angeles and Oslo most of his life, shaped a style that has the delicacy of Scandinavia and more commercial American style mixed together. After years of music videos and inspired by many other well known music video directors, he started directing movies. The first one, Dark Windows and the second one, Leave. both are premiering in the very near future. Alherro (talk) 16:06, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * hi again Drmies, I apologize if I have insulted you. I'm not sure where you come from, taking such an aggressive and rude approach, hinting to your one block at a time isn't enough at this time and using words as fluff. I'm imagining you get a lot of these mails and my naive self is going to walk away. have a nice day Alherro (talk) 16:27, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Alherro, "award winning director", "racking up billions of views and awards for some of the biggest names in the industry", that is fluff--at least in an encyclopedic article. It's not rude to point that out. You were blocked because you added the same promotional material right after you were warned about adding promotional material. I also see that you still have not formally declared your COI, and the linked policy explained how you can do that. Drmies (talk) 14:20, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I can only blame being a novice. thanks for the information. Alherro (talk) 12:19, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * how do I update it more precisely and specifically now, since I am blocked? Alherro (talk) 12:23, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
