Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, SeanJohnston95. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Oritsé Williams, 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. Thomas.W talk 17:28, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Oritsé Williams. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Oritsé Williams. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.

''Even though you are (holding yourself out as) Williams' manager, you do not own the article or have any more control over the article than any other Wikipedia editor. Arguably, because of your conflict of interest, you have less say in how the article should appear than neutral editors.'' —C.Fred (talk) 17:49, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Edits on Oritsé Williams
Hello. Please stop trying to change the focus of the article, Oritsé Williams is, by Wikipedia's standards, known only for having been a member of JLS, and wouldn't have an article here if it wasn't for JLS. And the article should be about what he's notable for, not a bunch of mostly unsourced non-notable material. In spite of your previous claims about being his manager you and the other single-purpose accounts do NOT own the article, and have no more control over what's in it than other editors here (see 's message above), so stop trying to turn it into a personal Facebook-page. Thank you. Thomas.W talk
