Tim Bagley
Hello, Groundling95. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Tim Bagley, 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. GiantSnowman 18:40, 24 June 2023 (UTC)


 * What does my sexuality have to do with anything on this page? Jim Carey’s page doesn’t announce that he’s straight? Neither does Meryl Streep’s page announce that she’s straight. Do you see how offensive it is to post a gay persons sexuality? You never announce if they are heterosexual. You might not be aware of it, but it’s a homophobic act.  Again, please remove it. 68.65.53.244 (talk) 20:41, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * From you website and Instagram [//www.instagram.com/p/Cs94ZzsNH8i/] it seems clear you don't have problems being publicly identified as LGBTQ+ and your disagreement is simply with mentioning it in your Wikipedia article. In that case, I'm sure you're aware much more than me that there are plenty of gay men who disagree with you that it's homophobic to mention in an encyclopaedia article that an openly gay man is gay. For that reason and since the information is mentioned in something we consider a reliable secondary source, it would help greatly if you go through the process at WP:REALNAME. While your username does not imply a connection to Tim Bagley, you've clearly said you are. But if we are going to do anything special based on this information we really need to be certain you are who you say you are. As I'm sure you understand, it's trivial for someone to claim they are someone they are not, right now I could make an account and claim I am the real Tim Bagley.
