Hello, I'm 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Hello, Dysonwomack. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:17, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

"Getting everything off of his website" is likely a copyright violation. A Wikipedia article about this artist(not a "page") should summarize what independent reliable sources choose to say about him, not what he says on his website, in any event. You say you are an enthusiast but your username is that of an art consulting firm. Is it his firm, and do you have an association with him? 331dot (talk) 22:02, 2 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, we do art consulting, and that is how I am familiar with Andy Scott's work and career; we also worked for a while in Glasgow, Scotland, and are familiar from that time. We are not artists and are not Andy Scott or any other artists' firm. Thanks for clarifying about the use of independent sources beyond the artist's site; there are lots of BBC and other articles about Andy that I could reference instead. I would like to help make his article more factual; for example, many of his pieces are in bronze, he doesn't only work in Galvanized steel as it says now. I also just think there are a lot more artworks that he has made that summarize his life and career better. Like I said, I've never updated a Wikipedia article before; I was just trying to highlight more of his well-known projects and include the biography of who he is as an artist, as that is interesting too.☁ Dysonwomack (talk) 23:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you being paid to, or do you otherwise have a financial interest in, writing about or otherwise promoting this individual? Seraphimblade Talk to me 03:48, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No, we're not being paid or have a financial intererst in writing about this artist. Dysonwomack (talk) 22:26, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
