User talk:OFFICIAL EDWARD MAYA

October 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "OFFICIAL EDWARD MAYA", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because your username is misleading as it represents a celebrity. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. ''' Jianhui67 talk ★ contribs 09:21, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi ! I'm representing Edward Maya, this is his official wikipedia account. What should I do to prove that this is his official wikipedia account ? Thank you !
 * We'll take your word for it, but since by your own admission you are not Mr. Maya I must block your account as a violation of the username policy. Follow the instructions on the template to propose a new username and get unblocked. Daniel Case (talk) 12:14, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. 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 below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 12:14, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello, OFFICIAL EDWARD MAYA. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Edward Maya, 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.
 * 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.

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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I fully reverted your changes to Edward Maya. While much of what you added was appropriate, and referenced, material, it was inappropriate to replace the existing article altogether rather than contributing to what was already there. Further, the last prose portion of your contribution was rather promotional and subjective. Please be aware that there is no WP:OWNERSHIP of articles and you can't just take an existing article over and make it your own. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:36, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey ! All I did is to add to Edward Maya page all about his songs, information that is also available on wikipedia !! I don't see which is the problem ?


 * No, you also deleted what was already there and you, a person with a conflict of interest, added the section under "2012 : Violet Light Project" with the unverifiable puffery "for his fans", the personal evaluation "amazing", and the subjective "unexpected hit" (really? who didn't expect it, and why?), the whole of it reading as a promotional piece. Anyway, have you read the article on conflicts of interest? —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:21, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

In Wikipedia there is no such thing as an "official" page for anything or anyone, and the only person who can be said to be the official editor of the Edward Maya page would be Edward Maya himself, should he decide to create an account. Even then the page would be subject to editing by any other editor here. furthermore, you are not allowed to edit here on behalf of someone else. That being said, here's a few key questions: You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a subject that you are trying to create an article about, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to break the 3 important questions above.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 23:22, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?
