User talk:Rachel Burks

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "New Bell Music", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:07, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Jovi (musician). Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:07, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:H.I.V (Jovi album). Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 02:57, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your comment. I am new to using Wikipedia. When I inserted the citations, they automatically popped up in that space. I was also unsure why that happened. I am not sure how to get them in the reference space, as cutting and pasting obviously wont work. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much!Rachel Burks of New Bell Music (talk) 04:23, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Reply: COI editing
Hi Rachel, thanks for your message on my talk page. You have done the right thing changing your username and it is now fine, thanks. You need to be aware that if you are planning to edit articles about your artists, you still have a conflict of interest and so there are some clear guidelines you need to follow. You should disclose your conflict, and if you are doing this editing as part of your work you must disclose that you are a paid editor. You should also read wikipedia's policies on natural point of view verifiability. See below for the general conflict of interest warning message and click on the blue links to go to the relevant policies and guidelines. If you have specific questions about anything, I'm happy to see if I can answer them, or I should at least be able to point you to the right place to find out more. Regards, Melcous (talk) 20:46, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Welcome! If you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 20:46, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:16 Wives Cover Art.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:16 Wives Cover Art.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:02, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Album formatting
Please see WP:MOSALBUM on how to properly format an album article. Album titles do not get put in quotation marks, but rather italicized in every instance. --Jennica ✿ / talk 23:24, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jennica,

Thanks for your feedback. I'm aware the album titles should be in italics. Is there a particular place it is not? Rachel Burks (talk) 23:49, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
