Help me!
I'm trying to edit the page Paul Godfrey (Lyricist) but my edits keep reverting back to edits made by mrX

I'd like to change the title of the page to Paul Godfrey (Morcheeba) as this more accurately describes who he is or at least Paul Godfrey (DJ-Producer/Lyricist)

The information I am adding is also getting deleted before i've had a chance to add citations and references e.g the films and tv shows his music has been in get deleted before I can add a reference

 * Paul Godfrey (Morcheeba) would not be a suitable article title as per our policy on article titles. Person + profession is the recommended style guide, i.e. Paul Godfre (musician) or Paul Godfre (lyricist). The reason for this is that rarely will people change core professions and rarely have conflicts. Godfre for example also founded the band First Down. It's not worthwhile to change the article title every time they start a more notable band over the course of someone's entire career. It creates work and destroys links each time the article is moved. It's likely that Mr.X has reverted other changes you have made because you are a relatively new editor and unfamiliar with our policies and guidelines. I suggest you spend time learning about them before making live changes to the encyclopedia. Mkdw talk 18:57, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Hello Samfov, in your vote to Keep perhaps you missed this note at the end of the 'Criteria for musicians and ensembles':

"Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Singers and musicians who are only notable for participating in a reality television series may be redirected to an article about the series, until they have demonstrated that they are independently notable."

My emphasis added to highlight what applies here IMO. You may want to add something to the Morcheeba article instead. Gab4gab (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Paul Godfrey Studio Shot 2016.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Paul Godfrey Studio Shot 2016.jpeg, which you've attributed to Paul Godfrey. 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

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.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Paul Godfrey Studio Shot 2016.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Paul Godfrey Studio Shot 2016.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 14:30, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest.
Hello Sam. Just wondering if you are associated with Blue Raincoat Music, as it appears you are solely editing or creating articles associated with this company. This would constitute a conflict of interest, and needs to be declared. Many thanks. Karst (talk) 22:43, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Draft first
Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft of your article in draftspace or in your userspace first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Siddiqsazzad001  '''  15:33, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
