Hello, Chumleytodd. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Desperation Band, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Desperation Band
Thank you for your contributions to Desperation Band, but as has been indicated here several times in the past, it is a conflict of interest for you to be rewriting the article in the way you did (among other potential problems). Additionally, your rewrite uses language that while fine for something like a press bio, is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. I've kept your infobox changes for now, but reverted your rewrite of the prose. If you're interested in making further contributions, please respond here or on my talk page and I will try to help. --Fru1tbat (talk) 10:33, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
