User talk:Arcadia Glen (Band)

Welcome!
Hello, Arcadia Glen (Band), and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 00:32, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

I am new to using wikipedia so what exactly to a pointpoint is it that made you consider there was a conflict of interest? And how can it be fixed?


 * You have named your account after a band (which is actually a violation of the username policy), and you are drafting an article about the band on your user page. In other words, you're trying to write about your own band. At best, that's a conflict of interest; at worst, it's blatant promotion. —C.Fred (talk) 00:46, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

I've always thought bands make their own wikipedia pages


 * Don't make a Wikipedia page about your band. See WP:AUTOBIO, WP:PROMO, and WP:COI. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 00:57, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Bands almost never write their own pages due to the conflict of interest (it's hard to be neutral when you're righting about yourself). In the interest of not having your work summarily deleted, I am moving it to Draft:Arcadia Glen (band), where you can continue working on the page if you so choose. However, you will need to change your username; go to WP:CHUS to request your username be changed. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 01:01, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
