User talk:GaryDMorgan
Your username
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "GaryDMorgan", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because the policy says, "Do not edit under a name that is likely to imply that you are (or are related to) a specific, identifiable person, unless it is your real name". 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. So, pardon me for asking, but are you Gary D. Morgan? -- Pemilligan (talk) 02:04, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

- Morgan. 47.19.62.235 (talk) 02:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- In that case, there's an issue with your edit to the Vinny Vella article which I'll take up in a new section below. -- Pemilligan (talk) 03:24, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Conflict of interest policy
[edit]Hello, GaryDMorgan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Vinny Vella, 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 article subjects 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 {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted.
In keeping with this policy, I'll remove what you added to the Vinny Vella article. -- Pemilligan (talk) 03:26, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
