User talk:JoelBruyere78

Welcome!
Hello, JoelBruyere78, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Thousand Foot Krutch, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, JoelBruyere78. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Joel Bruyere, 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 WP: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. ''You are welcome to write about yourself, but if you try to recreate the article, find a different method. Make sure you meet a notability criteria such as WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. From what I read, you do not.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:10, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

You don't seem to understand what Wikipedia is; it is a collection of notable subjects. You may think you are notable, but there isn't much written about you and we use the opinion of other, reliable sources to make that determination. I suggest that you stop working on your own article and go the article for creation route instead. if you try to recreate the article about yourself, I'll go the administrators' noticeboard related to incidents route. I will suggest that you are WP:NOTHERE for the right reasons and suggest that you be permanently blocked. We can also lock your article to prevent further recreation. It's your choice.
