Your username appears rather problematic
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "EGSocialMedia", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or appear to be shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  17:53, 15 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, I will be happy to change my username to adhere to username guidelines. I am in fact an unpaid intern for an artist management company.  While I recognize that this may first appear as a conflict of interest I do not believe this is the case.  My goal is to promote visibility for artists being managed by Exploding Green artist management and to do this I am attempting to compile an accurate and relevant article on the American Indie-Folk band Y La Bamba.  Although I am associated with a private organization I am unpaid and will only be using neutral, verified sources when creating the previously deleted Y La Bamba entry.

 * to promote visibility for artists being managed by Exploding Green artist management???? That's what we call "promotion" and will get you blocked if you persist. Wikipedia is not a venue for promotion and publicity, and is indeed actively hostile to them, since they violate our core principles of neutral point of view, verifiability, and reliable sourcing. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:28, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
