Hello, MegaMacX. 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 John Babcock (musician), 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. Widefox; talk 20:20, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to John Babcock (musician), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. Hi MMX, I see you've removed maintenance templates multiple times even after just being warned like this [1] . Pls read the WP:COI guideline and take the measures detailed there. Basically, the article needs secondary sources, and until there are a couple of them, this may be considered as failing notability. Feel free to find some sources and edit within the COI guideline, thanks Widefox; talk 20:26, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk about the article is best on the talk page. Feel free to copy your text (on my talk) to there. Seems you previously removed the COI tag and that was restored by another editor here [2]. I take it this removal of [3] the COI tag was also you? Several of us have explained about the tags and I've given you COI link to read, did you read it? I'm getting the impression that you are not listening and trying to argue about whether the COI guideline applies to you. It does. Instead of arguing against the consensus of other editors, removing maintenance tags etc please consider we work by consensus, nobody WP:OWNs the article and we all have to act in accordance to these guidelines and policies. My advice is to find enough WP:RS to pass WP:N, until that is done, the article may be deleted by anyone. You can do that with a COI, and feel free to edit it within what WP:COI says.
