Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for contributing edits to Jack Armstrong (artist) that were made in good faith, but have been deemed not to contribute positively to the article. These edits have thus been reverted. Wikipedia's page on unacceptable additions may explain why. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

Some good links for newcomers are:

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out the Teahouse, ask the Help Desk, or place {{Help me}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Once again, welcome! Verbcatcher (talk) 02:23, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Luxlife. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jack Armstrong (artist), 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 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 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 20:12, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

COI editing

You have not declared your conflict of interest and you have continued editing Jack Armstrong (artist). Please review the message above this one carefully, make the required declaration on your user page, and propose all but very minor changes on the article's talk page, Talk:Jack Armstrong (artist). Thank you. Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 02:14, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Luxlife - this is the place to have conversations with other editors, not on your user page. If you read the message above, you will see what is meant by "conflict of interest" - "an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about". You definitely have an external relationship with Jack Armstrong. Please follow this link and read the instructions to see what you should be putting on your user page: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI.

Also, you need to sign your posts with four ~~~~ without the "nowiki" tags; otherwise, your user signature won't be added to your messages, and none of the pings (these things: [[User:Username]]) in your posts will work. I doubt that Verbcatcher was even aware of the message you placed on your user page. Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 02:46, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikignome Wintergreen - did I add the Disclose Conflict of Interest and sign my post correctly on my User Page?

It's a bit rough around the edges, but close enough; the basic idea is there. Do you want me to copy the post from your user page to the Jack Armstrong talk page and ping Verbcatcher for you, so they can evaluate the requests? Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 03:31, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikignome Wintergreen - Yes please. Sorry, I'm new to all this and it's not straightforward - lol. Appreciate your help!

Done. If you go to the talk page, you'll see your post copied at the bottom, and I pinged Verbcatcher in my edit summary. Hopefully they'll respond within the next day or so; if not, you can try to get someone else's attention using {{request edit}}, or ask for help at the Teahouse.
