Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Joelgoodmanmusic. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Joel Goodman - An Exquisite Moment, 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. Belbury (talk) 15:03, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Would you be prepared to commit to not editing the Joel Goodman or Goodman-related articles altogether, and instead editing the articles on Howard Shore, or Danny Elfman or Mike Post? Or even on subjects totally unrelated to film scoring? Generalists are most welcome, but of course it's natural that contributors are drawn to subjects which interest them. I'm having some difficulty reconciling being "interested in the process of people seeing a Wikipedia article and being driven to check out an artist's work" with an ability to "remove [or refrain from] any content that is appearing as promotional". It's fundamental to Wikipedia's goals that its purpose not be affected by the wish to promote anything. Given that, I wonder if your interests would intersect at all with Wikipedia's.  signed, Willondon (talk)  19:41, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am open to editing articles that are not related to Joel Goodman. I know that according to Wikipedia's ethical standards I should still be able to edit the Joel Goodman article and create new articles about Joel Goodman's work. The right to free flow of information necessitates that this article should be accessible and public in its entirety with adherence and respect for Wikipedia's guidelines and interests. I believe that Wikipedia's assessment of the initial article and subsequent blocking of this profile was valid, in that there was specific language that could be interpreted as promotional. If you allow this account to be unblocked, let me rewrite the article so it adheres to all Wikipedia's standards. I speak honestly when I say that including the information that was interpreted as promotional was a mistake and that if allowed to continue editing the articles I want, they will all adhere to the proper demonstration of integrity and ethics. I am asking for your patience and forgiveness as this is something new I am trying. 76.90.226.145 (talk) 17:54, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * An additional note, what is currently available to see on the Joel Goodman page is not the entire text that was on the site. Most notably, the entire list of films Joel Goodman has scored is not on the page. In addition to unblocking this account, I am now also asking Wikipedia to update the page as it was before. Since I don't have a copy of what the article was in its entirety before Wikipedia redacted some information, please send me a copy of how it was before this account was blocked.

 * You've posted two more (improperly formatted) unblock requests, but your request from June 29 is still not evaluated. There is a long backlog of requests for administrators to review, so there is nothing left for you to do except be patient and wait your turn. It may be days or even weeks before your request is seen to. Please limit yourself to one open unblock request at a time - additional requests won't get yours reviewed faster or affect the outcome. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:26, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, checking in to see if you can please approve our unblock request and restore the wikipedia page as it was originally. Per my last message, a significant amount of language that was there for several years was removed by wikipedia (including the entire list of films Joel has scored) and needs to be restored as soon as possible. We also apologize for any prior issues - as stated previously this was accidental as we were still learning how to use the platform. Once the unblock is approved, we will make sure to follow all wikipedia guidelines. Thank you for the help. Joelgoodmanmusic (talk) 22:04, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you please clarify who "we" is in this context? An account may only be used by one person. -- Tamzin  &#91;cetacean needed&#93; (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 14:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Tamzin, it is only myself, Joel Goodman. Please let me know if you need anything else. I look forward to your response. As discussed, I am seeking an unblock request as well as restoration of my wikipedia page. Several of my film scores and other details that were on there for many years were removed and need to be restored. I will make sure to follow all wikipedia guidelines going forward and contribute positively to the platform. Thank you. Joelgoodmanmusic (talk) 20:34, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
