Your account usage

I noticed on your recent question on the help desk (here) and you seem to be representing a corporation ("Christa Texas Music Productions").

Please note that this could mean that you have a conflict of interest if you tried to create an article about a singer or band which you represent.

If you really want to create such an article, here are some pointers:

1. Read Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines
2. Ensure that the singer/group meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines (and especially the notability guidelines for singers and bands)
3. Do you have independent reliable sources for information about the singer/group (i.e. not your own website/facebook/twitter account, the artist's website/facebook/twitter account, press releases, etc) - see here for guidelines about independent sources, and here for guidelines about reliable sources
4. Assuming that you can write in a neutral tone without promotional language, then leave a request at Requested articles, giving the sources referred to in point 3

Someone else (unconnected with the subject) can then help to create an article!

I hope this helps.
