 * Shay Jones is recognized as the co-writer of the song in the article already.
 * But your addition to the cover section needs a reliable source to be included - please raise an edit request on the articles talk page with a link to a source that talks about the content you are adding and an editor will be happy to include it in the article.

 * So can anyone help me fix this or I just give up, this was no help at all ShayJonesOfficial (talk) 00:39, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You haven't cited any sources whatsoever, did not disclose your Conflict of Interest immediately, and did not follow Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Discuss changes you want to make on the article in question's talk page. Professor Penguino (talk) 01:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * it's all very confusing. How is stating a fact a conflict of interest? that makes no sense Shay Jones Covers were out first in 2005 . There are a million barriers to why I will never bother with this site again. it's loaded with false in formation ShayJonesOfficial (talk) 02:19, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Because we need to know that isn't false. Get a source for it. We are trying to keep Wikipedia reliable and up to code, and you are changing it without sources. It's a simple thing to do. To put it plainly, we need to know beyond a doubt that its a fact. You can change it first. But your additions were riddled with typos and inadvertently damaged the article's code. We need to know that you can find a RELIABLE source. Professor Penguino (talk) 04:34, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * A conflict of interest is knowing the person you are writing about, or otherwise benefiting from that person being shown in an either positive or negative light. Wikipedia is not for advertising -- its similar. Professor Penguino (talk) 04:35, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I honestly didn't understand the conflict of at all. I am trying to help update the information so that it is accurate across all the sites. I appreciate the feedback. I thought I was helping. I didn't mean at all to break the rules. I'm going to stick with it and hopefully learn.That whole page is about a song my friend co wrote and performed all around the world. I was  presenting a full picture I thought people would be interested in.I think what I wrote was pretty good. Hopefully once I get the reference or siting a source I can request a third party to finalize the change is what I'm hearing from al the feedback I am getting. Ty for your patience 2601:410:4303:8FC0:2136:5209:E7F0:8FBE (talk) 04:46, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries! I made some pretty crazy mistakes when I was new. All new users make a few mistakes when they start out. Feel free to change info you want -- but do try to find reliable sources in the future. Since you have disclosed your COI, you should be good now for the most part. You can read more at WP:RS, WP:COI, and WP:MOS. Sorry if I was harsh at the beginning. I hope you like Wikipedia and decide to stay. Have a good one! Professor Penguino (talk) 05:28, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
