Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to SYN Media, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". For reference, the adding/removing of content or references is not considered to be a minor edit per "When not to mark". My advice to you is to avoid marking your edits as minor until you are more familiar with how Wikipedia works. This will help you avoid possible disputes with other editors. - Marchjuly (talk) 08:05, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Tom & Olly
Hi Drthespian. Are you just a fan of Tom & Olly or are you connected to them in any way? Your first edit was to create their page and you seem to only be editing their article or information related to them in other articles, so I am just curious. There's nothing wrong with being a single-purpose account, but it can sometimes lead to issues with other editors who might mistaken your "interest" for a conflict of interest. Wikipedia doesn't expressly prohibited COI editing, but it is highly discouraged and there are limits placed on the types of things COI editors can do. Problems can arise even if there is only an apparent conflict of interest because others might mistakenly assume you're not here to help build an encyclopedia. So, if you're truly unconnected to the pair at all, then it might be a good idea to occassionally try your hand at editing some other articles (not related to the pair). This not only exposes you to more types of editing and applications of Wikipedia's various polocies and guidelines, but it can also help you avoid possible issues with other editors down the road. This is just meant as a friendly suggestion and not as an accusation of any wrongdoing, so I hope it is taken as such. - Marchjuly (talk) 23:15, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi marchjuly thank you for the suggestion. I am very enthusiastic about radio and am currently listening to Tom and Olly. You may have noticed that this is my first wiki. I am currently only editing their page for two reasons. The first is that the page still isn’t quite up to standard and the second is that I’m still learning what I’m doing and feel that the best place to learn is on my own wiki. Tom and Olly probably wasn’t the best choice for a page but many other topics have already been covered. Thank you marchjuly for the help you’ve given over the past few days :) Drthespian (talk) 01:53, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
