Hello, Loudersoft. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated 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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 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. '''For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions. Thank you. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:41, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:38, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * I have read and understand all of the above. I will continue to try to reach consensus with you on the talk page of the subject to prevent any further issues.  Thank you.  Loudersoft (talk) 06:59, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Apparent COI editing
Hello Loudersoft. Ssilvers contacted me and asked for a review of the editing at Malea McGuinness. Ssilvers wrote (on the article talk page): "Not only are you trying to delete the information from the Lead about The King and I, which is the only information that we have about McGuinness's career for the decade from 1996 to 2007, but you removed most of the other information from the lead about her albums and other matters."

I haven't verified any of this, I'm just noting that I saw this claim. A quick read of the discussion suggests to me you are trying to slant the content of the lead for publicity purposes. You want to emphasize some aspects of her career and avoid mention of others. The advice in WP:LEAD is that it should summarize the content of the article. If you find yourself unable to conform to Wikipedia policies here, you should not be editing this article. Any administrator may block your account if it appears that you are here to serve goals other than the improvement of Wikipedia. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 14:52, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi EdJohnston. I misunderstood at first the WP:COI and the WP:Lead sections.  I now understand them and there should be no additional need for action.  I am clear as to how Wikipedia works now and am willing to work with other editors who are also willing to work with me to make factual corrections to articles.  Thank you for reaching out to me. Loudersoft (talk) 15:00, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * One note regarding the statement but you removed most of the other information from the lead about her albums and other matters.: my edits will show that I removed sections which did not have proper citations and reworded existing content to match WP:Style. Ssilvers is upset because I did not understand about WP:COI and is understandably over-reacting slightly with some mild hyperbole.  I'm not upset by it, Ssilvers was simply trying to make a point.  I have no intention of rewording the lede at this point unless there are grammatical or spelling errors. Loudersoft (talk) 15:16, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Malea McGuinness 2014.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Malea McGuinness 2014.jpg, which you've attributed to http://maleamusic.com/wp-content/uploads/topslider43.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 23:59, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Tearce Kizzo, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

Your draft article, Draft:Tearce Kizzo


Hello, Loudersoft. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Tearce Kizzo".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the  or  code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code:, paste it in the edit box at this link , and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 01:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Courtney B. Vance, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Uncorked ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Courtney_B._Vance check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Courtney_B._Vance?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).
