Hello, The Activator. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Eric Bailey (basketball), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "The Activator", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames seen as promoting a company, organization, product, brand, etc. are not permited per Wikipedia:Username policy. 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 by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:36, 9 March 2023 (UTC)


 * All I want to do is update all the old information om my page. Happy to change my name. Its just want my clients call me. The Activator (talk) 01:57, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Some information about how to go about updating what's written about you on Wikipedia can be found in the thread right above this one and also in some of the responses your Teahouse question has received. I suggest you also take a look at Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Basially, you should refrain from trying to update the article yourself, and instead propose changes at Talk:Eric Bailey (basketball) as explained in Wikipedia:Edit requests. Other users will assess the proposed changes to determine whether they are in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If they are, they will incorporate the changes into the article; if not, they will explain why and also probably what is still needed for the changes to be made. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Verifiability for reference since a lack of verifiablity is one of main reasons that edit requests are declined by reviewers. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:13, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

To be clear, it is not "your" page. And you should not touch it, because you have a conflict of interest. If you try to change any of the text, the article will be tagged as having been edited by someone with a conflict of interest. If you want to change something, propose the change on the talk page. The subject of an article, or his representatives, are the last people who should be editing it in any way. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:20, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
