User talk:Brian Mukupili

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Trinket Rec, 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, 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).

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! Robert McClenon (talk) 02:39, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Trinket Rec for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Trinket Rec is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Trinket Rec until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:41, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Your help desk question
The question was archived with no responses. You appeared to be writing an article about ‎Barotseland Music. However, there were numerous problems with the article. You provided sources but they were not described in a way that tells us what they are. Furthermore, they did not appear to be independent. And much of the article appeared to be promotional, which is not allowed. In order to write an article, you must have independent reliable sources that discuss the subject in detail and with a neutral point of view. We are not here to promote anything, but to cover topics that are already notable.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:22, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * And a second look at your question shows that it is the subject of the two above sections.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:24, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Forgot one more thing. The copyright symbol at the end suggests a possible copyright violation.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:39, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
