Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Deeeyewhy. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dave Bass, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Logical Cowboy (talk) 00:37, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Dave Bass has been reverted.
Your edit here to Dave Bass was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/user/DaveBassMusic) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:37, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Logical Cowboy. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Dave Bass because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Dave Bass, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Logical Cowboy (talk) 22:01, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Logical Cowboy I'm a bit unclear, can you clarify? The legal cases cited aren't meant to be "promotional," they're examples of Dave Bass' work as a lawyer in the same way one would list a new recording or appearance in a film. Also - the references and citations are reliable verified records. I don't understand why they wouldn't be considered reliable. Thanks for any light you can shed!

The article had its start as paid article to promote Dave Bass. The notability of the subject is now being discussed by the WP community. Your extensive edits have included unsourced information as well as sourced information not even mentioning Dave Bass by name. This seems like resume padding and promotion rather than establishing notability. It would be worth reading WP:BASIC. Logical Cowboy (talk) 22:17, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the guidelines, and the artist is notable under criteria 1, 2, and 4 as listed in the musicians and ensembles section. I'm not the originator of the entry and trying to fix errors as well as improve the information. Thank you again for the clarification and any further assistance. It is much appreciated.

Then there is the issue of your connection to Dave Bass, DIY. You should read WP:COI as well. Logical Cowboy (talk) 01:07, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
