Hello, Plemongello. We welcome your contributions, but 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 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 13:47, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have again reverted your edits. As you have a clear conflict of interest, you are requested not to edit the articles directly, but to make requests on the talk page that can be reviewed by neutral editors. This is most easily done using the Template:Request edit. You should also provide reliable, independent sources to verify the information you would like changed, otherwise it can not be included.

Why is there conflict of interest? I am just trying to correct wrong information!

There is a conflict of interest because your name is the name of the person you are writing about. And you are not providing any sources for your changes. Melcous (talk) 04:46, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your confusion now, but there is still no conflict of interest because I am not the person you believe me to be. See I am just a fan of said person and have created my username to reflect that. No different than Elvis screen name or Donald Trump. Do you really think Elvis is editing his own page? Anyway, you clearly are overlooking the fact that there were sources on some paragraphs and I will add them for the ones lacking them. Thank you Plemongello (talk) 03:41, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case then you should not be using this user name - it is a violation of the username policy to use a name that implies you are a specific, identifiable person - see WP:REALNAME. You should also note that sources need to be reliable, independent and secondary and they need to specifically verify the information you want to include. None of the three you added before you were blocked actually verified the change of band members you keep making. Melcous (talk)

Edit warring

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Plemongello reported by User:Melcous (Result: )

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Peter Lemongello. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Melcous (talk) 05:18, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was not unsourced! You did not give me a chance to finish editing and add the source. Didn't your mother ever teach you about patience?

BillyB1950 (talk) 05:18, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits keep adding incorrect formatting, unsourced content and content that is irrelevant to the subject (i.e. the son's music career). It seems fairly likely that despite your denials that you are the son and that you are also breaching the WP:COI guidelines. Stop it. Go to the talk page and propose changes and work towards getting consensus with other editors. If you can't do that, you will end up being blocked again.

March 2019

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Crests; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Melcous (talk) 23:32, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:J.T. Carter's Crests.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:J.T. Carter's Crests.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
