Disambiguation link notification for June 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Thomas Fellows (author), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Brooks.

Hello, Billywhite86. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 WP: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. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 21:48, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

got it
 * No, Billywhite, you don't got it. You were asked to follow the above guidelines and act on them, and you didn't, and that is why I am going to block you: I need to see you address your COI, and act on that following the rules in WP:COIDECLARE. Until you do that, you will remain blocked. Drmies (talk) 16:16, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

I am trying to follow the guidelines, but am not good with technology. I can't get on your talk page on the Makepeace account. I will try to get back on that account and disclose that I have a COI, but I thought that it wouldn't matter because I can't edit the page anyway? Let me try again, though....
