Hello, Kay&#39;s Cameras. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 article subjects 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 edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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. That includes editing to promote or publicise a YouTube channel. JBW (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Unfortunately, you seem to be making the assumption that Wikipedia's prohibition of promotional editing applies only to promotion for financial gain, but it applies to any kind of editing to promote or publicise anything; in your case, it applies to editing to publicise your YouTube channel. You may well do it in order to "share [your] knowledge and experience", for the benefit or interest of people who see your videos, but that is not what Wikipedia is for.
