Hello CJUUser123. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:CJUUser123. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 07:19, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello HickoryOughtShirt?4 I do not have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic. I went to this musician's event in Los Angeles, and thought he was great. I talked to him after the event, and realized that although most of his gigs were in Japan, he had done a lot in the US as well and was even nominated for the Grammys. But when I looked him up, I noticed that he did not have an English Wikipedia page. So I decided to create one using information on his Japanese Wikipedia page. I wanted the English page to look professional and not amateurish (his Japanese page was professional looking), so I read the Wikipedia guidelines and based the format on musician Dua Lipa's Wikipedia page. I practiced with the sandbox so that I wouldn't have to redo the actual page multiple times. Once it looked good on the sandbox, I copied the text over and published it.

 * Alright thanks for the explanation. Can I ask how you came to be in possesion of this photo? As well, I can tell you that English Wikipedia has a much stricter threshold for references and you'll need quite a few more to prove WP:Notability.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:25, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

I received the photo from the musician himself. I emailed him (I received his business card at the event and his contact info was on it) and asked for a photo and got his permission to use it for his English Wikipedia page that I was creating.

Thanks for the advice on the references. Can I use Japanese sources or do they need to be English articles as sources? There weren’t much in English.

 * Thanks again . Yes, you can use Japanese sources. When you think it's ready you can submit it for review. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:57, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Ok thank you. Will do!
