Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Joesmooth. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joe Smooth, 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. Liliana UwU (talk / contributions) 06:46, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I am adding important information and photos that apply to the history of House music. I should not be penalized for being one of the creator and catalyst of this genre of music. I was involved with most of Frankie's, Chip E's DJ International and Trax records original productions. I'm sure people would love to see these pictures as they are historical.

Conflict of interest
Alright, Joe, I'll keep it simple: if you're the subject of something on Wikipedia, usually you shouldn't edit that article. Thus, editing Joe Smooth (and house music) is a no-no. Best regards, Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 07:48, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * who knows more about my history than I do. When I see errors related to my life they need to be corrected even my birthday was wrong. Joesmooth (talk) 07:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This is rediculous Joesmooth (talk) 08:01, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Look, I get it. If Wikipedia got my birthday wrong on an hypothetical article about myself, I'd be angry too. Once your block expires, you're more than welcome to hit up the talk page for the article about you and request changes using the template. Additionally, there is a way to verify your identity: you can send an email to info-enAt_sign.svgedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. However, please do not send documentation without being requested to do so. (That last bit being shamelessly stolen from FAQ/Article subjects).
