Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, CBISocialMedia. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Brian McBride (businessman), 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.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. TheManInTheBlackHat  (Talk)  14:52, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

 * You did not source any of the text you added here. Please back it up with references, and reduce the promotional tone ("paved the way", "determined by his ability to see opportunities"). Additionally, you are required to disclose any conflicts of interest. TheManInTheBlackHat   (Talk)  15:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Either way, you must reduce the promotional tone and disclose any paid connections to the subject. Other editors are reverting your edits because you have failed to address the COI problem. TheManInTheBlackHat   (Talk)  15:10, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * [This] is not a reliable source. It is a primary source that bares very little weight here. You would need to provide Reliable sources when you discuss changes you wish to be made on the article talk page, since you shouldn't be editing the article directly anyway. Also after you have declared your COI or paid status. Until then by continuing to edit the article you are engaged in an edit war and being disruptive which you have already been warned about.-- VViking Talk Edits 15:14, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. -- VViking Talk Edits 15:00, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

→ You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. -- VViking Talk Edits 15:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Salvio giuliano 19:34, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
