Hello, I'm Moosehadley. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Halsey— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  Moose  hadley  17:38, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Halsey (singer), and I noticed that your username, "Halseymusic17", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Fylbecatulous talk 23:46, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Do you have a connection (and conflict of interest) with Halsey?
Greetings! The message above raised some concerns with your username. I have a question more specifically about your relationship with the subject.

I notice you've edited the Halsey (singer) article extensively. I also notice that you uploaded File:Halseyy.jpg to Wikimedia Commons, claiming it as your own work. Taking the photo means that you were at Halsey's March 17 concert. Do you have a conflict of interest with her?


 * If you're just a fan, that isn't a conflict of interest, strictly speaking. However, you should still follow the the WP:Verificability and WP:Reliable sources policies. You may also want to change your username, since your current one suggests an official relationship.


 * If you are an employee, agent, or contractor and have a paid relationship with the subject, then you need to follow the guidelines for editing when you have a conflict of interest. You're not forbidden to edit the article, but it's suggested that you discuss changes on the talk page first. You also need to disclose that you're a paid editor.


 * If you are Halsey, then you have a clear conflict of interest and should follow the guidelines for editing when you have a COI. This is the situation where it's easier to have a username that suggests you are the subject; however, you'll want to email the Volunteer Response Team. They can verify your identity privately in email, rather than in an open talk page.

A reply here is welcome, but not required. If it's the third case, you may prefer to send the email before replying to me anyway. Regardless, we welcome you to Wikipedia and look forward to your contributions, even if there are a few extra hoops to jump through because you have the conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 15:27, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Halsey (singer), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 00:14, 21 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I've restored Halsey's description of her upcoming album because it's cited to a secondary source. If there's a problem with the source, you need to explain the issue at Talk:Halsey (singer) and indicate which reliable sources contradict or disprove the Teen Vogue source. —C.Fred (talk) 02:02, 22 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Incidentally, I don't see anywhere on her Twitter where she stated that there's a false quotation in the Teen Vogue interview...at least, not as far back as 15 April, when she retweeted Teen Vogues tweet about the interview. —C.Fred' (talk) 02:15, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Halsey (singer), you may be blocked from editing. If, as you claim, Halsey has denied making the statement to Teen Vogue'', please provide a link to where the denial is published. Right now, we have no way to verify that claim, so Wikipedia policy is to go with what's been published.'' —C.Fred (talk) 14:19, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
