Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:38, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Lockstock97. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Billabong Pipeline Masters, 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. ''I noticed you uploaded a poster of the Vans 2022 event as "own work". If you have a business relationship with the event, you must disclose it if you intend to edit anything in that group of articles.'' Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:39, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * This is the official event poster approved by Vans and I was asked by Vans to create the Pipe Masters wikipedia page. Is it possible for you to remove the redirect you have put on the page? Lockstock97 (talk) 20:41, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
