Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, AtlantaResearcher. 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, 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. Ravensfire (talk) 04:35, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Brian Evans (singer). Bbb23 (talk) 14:00, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

I am neutral, and I have nothing to do with the artist other than attempting to update this individuals page, which the Wikipedia page related to this very page states it seeks more information on. So that's what I did, and yet you continue to delete well sourced updates for reasons I can only assume are personal. Otherwise, it doesn't make a lot of sense. I have o connection to Brian Evans, Dog The Bounty Hunter, Beth Chapman, William Shatner, Carrot Top, or any of those mentioned in these updates that merely state facts, which I thought Wikipedia was about. Regardless, I have contacted Wikipedia Foundation directly with print outs of the "after edits" and "before edits," and a full transcript of the "View History" section to them to decide upon. What is the point of someone editing a page, learning all of the "how to's" about it, when all that work and research, which took me HOURS to do, is just tossed aside, with a false allegation levied against the person, me in this case, from working on the page? Why would anyone want to spend the kind of time that I did to have someone just delete accurately sourced information? It makes absolutely no sense to me, but I have been in communication, both ways, with Wikipedia and this is being looked into.

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Croonerman, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
