Hello CatDog2020. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Greg Cox (musician), 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:CatDog2020. 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:16, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi CatDOG2020. Just to clarify what posted above, some of the posts you made over at Commons seem to indicate that at the very least you have an WP:APPARENTCOI to Greg Cox. The more transparent you are about any connection you may have to Cox, the easier it will be to help you. You can find out some more about this in WP:PSCOI, but you can also ask questions below. Please note, that even though the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) doesn't explicitly prohibit conflict-of-interest editing, it does highly discourage it because it can often lead to some serious problems. The WMF does, on the other hand, prohibit undisclosed "paid" editing as explained above and also in WP:PAID, and such editors can be blocked without warning by a Wikipedia administrator when they fail to properly declare any such connection. If, by chance, you are connected to Cox in some way and are creating an article on his behalf, you might want to ask him to take a look at WP:BIOSELF, WP:NOT, WP:PROUD, WP:LUC and WP:OWN for reference because there can be a downside to being written about on Wikipedia that neither you nor he may be aware of. Wikipedia articles are written about subjects and not on behalf of of for subjects, and Wikipedia article needs to comply with relevant policies and guidelines. Article subject and their creator do not have any exclusive control over article content and are not able to point the article in a certain direction. Any disagreements over article content will most likely need to be resolved through discussion and the resulting WP:CONSENSUS may not exactly be what either the subject of the article or the article's creator likes or wants. So, if Cox is looking for a way to promote his career or otherwise increase his online presence, he should probably consider one of these things because Wikipedia might not be the best thing for him. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:22, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, thanks for sharing! So to address the nature of my edits! This is a learning process for me. So I can assure you im not paid, this is all volunteer work for me, with all the errors I would hope you guys would see I'm not even close to being knowledgeable to charge for something like this. Please know, all for my effort/contribution is my own. This is passion project that I started solely motivated from myself mainly because of all of the public articles I've seen of Greg Cox over the years. I plan to write more articles this is great start/practice for me. Writing/Documenting has become an outlet for me. I feel Greg Cox is someone who is well known but doesn't have an existing wiki article. Thanks for all this information on this process if I was being paid. This is super helpful, thanks so much! CatDog2020 (talk) 22:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Even if you're not being paid (please be advised that "paid" is broadly construed as explained here), you've stated on Commons that I have exclusive rights to the photos here I know the photographer and artist im writing about personally and I know the photographers personally, I also know the Musician I'm writing about well and have proof of this. and these statements mean you're almost certainly going to be viewed as having a conflict of interest with respect to Cox when it comes to Wikipedia. As I stated above, this doesn't mean you can't try and create a Wikipedia article about him, but it does mean you'll be expected by the WP:COMMUNITY to follow the guidance given in Wikipedia:Conflict of interest when doing so. So, the more transparent you are about your connection to Cox, the less suspicious others are likely going to be and the more willing they are going to be to try and help you. Other editors will for the most part leave you alone while you work on this draft unless there's a serious issue that needs addressing, but that will change as soon as you start to try and add content about Cox to the WP:MAINSPACE. So, the more familiar you are with relevant policies and guidelines, the less likely you're going to find yourself having problems down the road. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:44, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I see, this is very helpful.
 * Thank you. I'll continue to be as transparent.
 * The interest here is having information presented impartially.
 * thanks for the help. CatDog2020 (talk) 03:30, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
