User talk:Marcushummonassistant

Welcome!
Hello, Marcushummonassistant, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 01:06, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

'''C.Fred, would it be possible to add Marcus's updated bio to his page, since I can't do it? There's a link to it here: http://www.marcushummon.net/about-marcus/ '''

Grammy winner, and two-time NSAI Songwriter’s Hall of Fame nominee, Marcus Hummon has enjoyed a successful career as a songwriter, recording artist, composer, playwright and author. His songs have been recorded in many genres -Pop, R&B, gospel - and most notably in country music.

His best known hits are: ‘Bless The Broken Road’ (Rascal Flatts), ‘Cowboy Take Me Away’, and ‘Ready To Run’ (The Dixie Chicks), ‘Born To Fly’ (Sara Evans), ‘One Of These Days’ (Tim McGraw), and ‘Only Love’ (Wynonna). Several of his songs have been nominated for Grammys, ACMs and CMAs and Dove Awards. In 2005, ‘Bless The Broken Road’, won the Grammy for ‘Best Country Song’ (NSAI’s Best Country Song 2005 and 2007). Along the way, he has garnered numerous BMI awards, including 5 #1 awards from BMI.

As a recording artist and instrumentalist, Marcus released a critically acclaimed country record for Columbia Records in 1995, ‘All In Good Time’. In 1998, Marcus and Scottish ‘Big Country’ front-man, Stuart Adamson, released their duo album ‘Supernatural’, as ‘The Raphaels’, with Track Records out of London. He has also released several independent records; most recently, ‘The Passion’, on CTM Records.

Turning to theatre, Hummon has written 6 musicals and an opera. Three of his musicals, ‘Warrior’ and ‘The Piper’, and the musical-dance-hybrid ‘Tut’ (a collaboration with Abdel Salaam and the Force Of Nature Dance Company) were featured Off-Broadway as part of the New York New Musical Festival in 2005, 2006 and 2011 respectively. ‘Warrior’ and ‘American Duet’ received invitations to be work-shopped at the prestigious Eugene O'Neill Summer Conference in 2005 and 2006. For ‘Warrior’, a musical about the life of Jim Thorpe, Marcus received an Award for Creative Excellence from the Native American Association of Tennessee. His opera, ‘Surrender Road’, was supported by Opera America, and staged by The Nashville Opera Company. His musical, ‘Atlanta’ enjoyed a 3-month long run at The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angelos in 2007. His celtic based musical, ‘The Piper’, received a 2-week workshop and production at NYC’s Irish Rep in 2011.

In literature, Hummon's children's book, ‘Anytime, Anywhere’, was published by Athenium Press, a division of Simon and Schuster, in 2009. Spring of ’17 will be the release of ‘The Passion’, a book co-written with his wife Rev. Becca Stevens, to be published by National Publishing, reflecting his cantata of the same name.

Recent projects include scoring the documentary film, ‘Lost Boy Home’ (a story of a Sudanese ‘lost boy’ returning home to South Sudan to find out if his parent’s survived the genocide), and a cantata commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral, ‘The Passion’ (a liturgical choral/vocal/instrumental piece commemorating Christ’s Passion). His latest work for the theater is a concert-theatrical exploring the life of Frederick Douglass which premiered in 2015 in Nashville, and was invited to be performed at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis in 2016.

Upcoming projects include the scoring and co-producing a new film, ‘The Last Songwriter’, featuring Garth Brooks, Jason Isbell and EmmyLou Harris, focusing on the culture of Nashville’s songwriting community, and recent attrition due to streaming and illegal downloading.

Marcus lives in Nashville, TN, with his wife Becca and their 3 sons...Levi, Caney and Moses.

 * Short answer: No, not in that form.


 * Long answer: The tone of the material is unacceptable, because it reads like a bio on his website or a promotional flyer. It would need to be edited to be in encyclopedic tone. Further, a lot of the information would need to be corroborated with independent reliable sources. Wikipedia has a limited set of circumstances where a self-published source may be used; for most circumstances, the encyclopedia prefers or outright requires secondary sources independent of the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 01:24, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Did anyone mention the need for a rename? Your current ID is a job title. You need a user name that is individual. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:52, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.
