edit

  Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, John Prior (musician), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 11:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 13:13, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

It's not promotional, it's fact. John David Prior (talk) 19:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
It is a conflict of interest as defined by Wikipedia rules, and it is self-promotional. If you have questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Teahouse. -- Alexf(talk) 19:35, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest notice

edit

  Hello, John David Prior. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page John Prior (musician), 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:

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. Adakiko (talk) 11:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

The information you removed is relevant to my work as an artist and the people who follow my work. It is fact, not opinion, it is stated in APRA royalty statements. I included a link to APRA, and a public Facebook post, but apparently you don't accept them as reliable sources, perhaps you are not registered to view APRA's song database. I could upload my APRA statements, but I would have to redact payments. Otherwise I could organise an interview with a media outlet and talk about my work just to get a link to their article, which is a lot of work just to satisfy you. My other additions to this page over the years have been referenced and verified, many after they were added to my page. Please restore what you removed.

You have a conflict of interest and should not be editing your own biography on Wikipedia. Please read the text and links above. Please make an edit request for content additions. See wp:Edit request. Use the wp:template {{request edit}}.

Facebook is a wp:self-published source and therefore is not considered a wp:reliable source for the way it was used here. See WP:FACEBOOK for info.

There is a lot of content on your article that is uncited. Adakiko (talk) 21:15, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
