Hello, Johnnysings, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~.

Our conflict of interest policy[edit]

Hello, Johnnysings. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
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.

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. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:45, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Help me![edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with...on Johnny Tillotson page it says citations are needed is that for the peoples names in red? I'm not sure.

Johnnysings, citations are another name for references, and when it says that you need more citations it means there needs to be more verification of the facts in the article. For example, "In 2006 he was honored by the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications with the Alumni of Distinction award" - who said this? Is there any proof that this happened? Adding more references will give more validity to the statements, and if they are not properly sourced they may be removed. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 20:14, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Joanna & Wang Ruo-lin. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 23:12, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:44, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inline links[edit]

Please stop adding inline links to external Web sites in the content of articles; we don't do that here. If the link is to serve as a reliable source for information contained in the article, see WP:CITE for how to add it as a reference. If the link is to an official page for the subject of the article (not just something or someone connect with them), add it in the External links section of the article.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Orange Mike | Talk 01:43, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi is this how I answer... first this is not Johnny Tillotson editing his own page.. My name is Nancy and years ago we corrected some errors and ask for help in coreccting others you can see the last was like 2015 until today....when looking up a musician they have had a very hard time this year, I didn't see a page but found a band website but didn't see any links to him just one of the other members than decided I would add his website strictly to help..then looked up few songs etc....just trying to help you took them all down. So now I know that you can only link to other Wikipedia pages...but it doesn't matter I'm not a pr person or employed by anyone to put links on Wikipedia so there is no reason for me to edit anymore in that regard...Best. Nancy
