Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Justinhastobe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Don Diablo, 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 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. Binksternet (talk) 02:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Justinhastobe, your next edit needs to a. make it clear that you have a COI and b. show that you read the relevant policy. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:20, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

No Conflict of Interest
Hey, I do not work for or represent Don Diablo. I am simply a fan and am updating his page with relevant information. I notice that all of my edits have been removed. I spent hours researching and working on that. Regarding the image i used. i can get written permission to use it if needed. otherwise, the image can be used. All of my work was a waste of time now. all of the information i added is accurate, i also added citations to back it up... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justinhastobe (talk • contribs)


 * How do you explain this edit in which you say that it was "fact checked by the man himself"? Binksternet (talk) 02:44, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I should have phrased that differently, he himself did not fact check the wiki page. But. the information was taken from interviews or direct quotes of his words. The purpose of me editing the Wikipedia page for Don Diablo was to fill in information gaps that other people left aswell as add information about 2021.

I just went back to see what edits were made by you. you said "Diablo announced his third studio album Forever in mid-2019, but it was not released. He planned a world tour" This is untrue. he went on a world tour. there is no "puffery or promotion"

Items i didnt even add were removed. why? If you look back at older versions of the page you will see that. The information that you removed is relevant and accurate. Now there is false information on his page... I dont want to have to edit everything again just for it to be falsely removed.


 * Couple of things:
 * Nothing you did is lost or wasted. It's all there in the article history. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Don_Diablo&action=history
 * I removed some stuff according to various guidelines we have. One guideline says that "associated acts" in the infobox should be artists who have made multiple collaborations with Don Diablo. And every listed artist should have a Wikipedia page written about them. That's why I removed all of the listed artists except Diplo.
 * Drmies removed a list of artists because it was merely "name-dropping" and unsupported by WP:SECONDARY sources.
 * Generally, the stuff that is written by Don Diablo in mainstream newspapers, magazines, books and in well-established websites is what should be summarized in the biography. When Dance4Life writes on their own website about Don Diablo becoming "the first ambassador for Dance4Life" then it's not such a major fact, coming from a primary source. If independent media outlets write about it then it becomes much more important.
 * Regarding the 2018 tour, we can certainly tell the reader that the tour happened, where it went, etc. Such information should come from secondary sources such as WeRaveYou writing about Don Diablo at Tomorrowland 2018. Stuff like that. We can cite DJ Mag to say that Don Diablo rose four positions in 2018 to get to the 7th biggest DJ. Binksternet (talk) 04:15, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You said you are "editing the Wikipedia page for Don Diablo". For Don Diablo. How do you not have a conflict of interest? Moreover, you said, "I also notified management of these changes and I will edit anything they request". There is no more clear statement that you could make that says "I have a conflict of interest"--now all you have to do is read the actual guideline at WP:COI, because I am not convinced you have done that, and follow the steps outlined in Conflict_of_interest. And I'm sorry, but if you spend hours of researching, you can surely devote a few minutes to learning our guidelines. Secondary sourcing. No unverified information. And no promotional language, like this: "Don Diablo has teamed with Ty Dolla Sign for a brand-new single 'Too Much To Ask'. Released in collaboration with non-profit organization Justdiggit, and United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) for the launch of their #STREAMTOREGREEN initiative. Every stream for Don and Ty's Song will be a crucial step towards combatting climate change." So, since you clearly have a conflict of interest, and you have not declared it, I will revoke your access to that article. You may propose an edit request on the talk page; please see Edit requests. If you do declare that COI, and if your proposed edits show that you are working within our guidelines, an administrator can restore your capability of editing that article--but it is actually common practice that COI editors do not edit the article directly. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 00:26, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
