Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Matias Aguayo has been reverted. Your edit here to Matias Aguayo was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (https://www.discogs.com/Michael-Mayer-Neuhouse/release/99776, https://www.discogs.com/Closer-Musik-After-Love/master/45273) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:44, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Ejivalius. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Matias Aguayo, 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 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. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 12:56, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ejivalius. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Matias Aguayo, 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:Ejivalius. 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. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 12:56, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Jauerback, I understand and thank you for your kind comments and observations. I am mainly a music journalist from Mexico, learning to edit Wikipedia and trying to expand content on Latin American Electronic Musicians being successful in the western world, which is a subject I know and want to share. I am being helped by another editor which will be compensated for fine tuning my edits. Also I have interviewed Matias Aguayo in the past, the artist in question, an interview which I am also using as a source for this edit, although I am not certain if this constitutes a conflict of interest. Thank you. --Ejivalius (talk) 19:23, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd lean towards that you do indeed have a COI, but you can get some better feedback at WP:COIN. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 14:04, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
