Possible conflict of interest
Hi and welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed that you are a rapper/record producer, so I thought I'd give you some important advice!

If you want to create an article about yourself or one of your acts, you need to appreciate that you have a clear conflict of interest.

This does not prohibit you from creating such articles, however there are a few points to bear in mind:
 * The subject of an article must meet the criteria for inclusion:
 * General notability guidelines
 * Notability guidelines for people
 * Notability guidelines for musicians
 * Notability guidelines for companies and organisations
 * Information in articles need to be verifiable. This means having references for the information at reliable sites which are independent of the subject
 * Articles must be written from a neutral point of view, including any criticism - and not written in a promotional way. Of course, this is why we recommend that editors do not write about subjects with which they are closely associated, as it can be hard to be neutral in that situation!

The last two points are also applicable to any information which you add/amend/remove from articles (if information is adequately sourced, it cannot be removed).

You might be thinking "How do I get an article created then?"... there are a few methods:
 * 1) Go to Requested articles and follow the instructions there (explain your relationship to the subject matter)
 * 2) Create a subpage (like you've done at User:MCTroublesome/Chronic Revolution) and then go to Peer review (again mentioning your connection)
 * 3) Create a subpage and move it to main space when you think it is ready (but this can be risky, as it could be deleted)

Of course, if the subject you are writing about has no connection with you, there are no problems (although the notability criteria and referencing issues still apply!)

One final thing, please make sure that you do not copy text from a website or anywhere else that is copyrighted (although if you are the copyright material, there is advice on allowing Wikipedia to use it here).

If you need any help, I have left some useful pointers in my welcome message at the top of the page!
