Hello, I'm Happysailor. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Terry Brival with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - Happysailor  (Talk) 21:50, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia
Hi LeiaWriter I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikiepedia. Your edits to date are on a bit of a run about Terry Brival  I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some questions for you below.

Hello, LeiaWriter. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Question
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review.

DIsclosure is the most important, and first, step. Would you please let me know if you have any relationship with Terry Brival ‎or his managment?

You can reply here - I am watching this page. Once you do, we can take it from there. Thanks in advance for talking! Jytdog (talk) 00:13, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * copied from my talk page, where you responded in this dif Jytdog (talk) 07:28, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I will be honest, I dont have any direct connection to the artist, but I have been asked by a friend who works for the artist to update the wiki entry. I ensured that every sentence I type follows Wikipedia's policies and was from a neutral point of view. I have also supported the information with relevant references. If you feel that something is amiss, please do tell and I'll make sure the article upholds wikipedia'sguidelines. Thank You LeiaWriter (talk) 05:28, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * that is a conflict of interest in my view. Do you agree? Jytdog (talk) 07:23, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok if you feel so. But I am not gaining anything by writing this and also I tries my best to be neutral. Can you please suggest anything I can do to make it better suited to wikipedia's policies. Thank YouLeiaWriter (talk) 08:39, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * please reply here. (you replied on my talk page again here and i have cut it from there and pasted it above)  As I wrote above, I am watching your page so will see it, and it is much better to keep the discussion in one place.  Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 14:27, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Responding to the substance now... so your friend has to do this as part their job and you want to help your friend - this creates a situation of bias, where it is hard for you to think objectively about whether the article should even exist (the baseline is that it needs to exist, right?).  Please read our policy Notability and the guideline applying that policy to people Notability (people)... carefully.   Maybe twice.  Then really look at the sources that are available, and see if you can make a good argument, based on that policy and guideline, as to whether the article should exist or not.   And listen to what others are saying, who have more experience than you.  If the community decides that the sources don't show that the singer meets our notability policy, that is that... for now at least.  It is not mean spirited or anything and nobody should take it personally.  (that is why we have the policy and guideline!  So it is not personal)   Also, please note that things might change with time - some people only become notable enough for an article with time. Also, If you decide to participate  in the discussion at AfD you should disclose your relationship.  Good luck! Jytdog (talk) 16:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

That was really helpful. Thank You LeiaWriter (talk) 20:04, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * you are welcome! this place can be bewildering, i know. Jytdog (talk) 20:18, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Terry Brival, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Angelgirl1992 (talk) 09:08, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Reviewed
Hi i just found that you reviewed a draft page Terry Brival(French Music Artist) and moved it to main article space. My question is how come you can review an article and moved to main article space when the other page for the same subject already exit as Terry Brival. The draft article was copy-paste of the current active article. Gurvinder &#124;  Talk  17:19, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

and if you check these 2 links The One you created/reviewd and Old Page Created on 16:44, 13 May 2015‎ both are very similar like copy-past. Gurvinder &#124;  Talk  17:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Undisclosed Paid Editor
It's very obvious that you are an undisclosed paid editor as per your activity on Terry Brival and you moved the draft Terry Brival(French Music Artist) to main article space by knowing that the article for the same subject already exist and per WP:COI if you do not start disclosing that you are paid, you will be blocked indefinitely per WP:NOTPROMO.
