Mirrors

[edit]

Information icon Thanks for contributing to the article Will Kirby. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

and from a variety of sources

color me confused — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wriggley (talkcontribs) 03:54, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure that "variety" of sources does not include sites that copy Wikipedia articles and ones that qualify as reliable sources. As noted by Melcous, you'll need to cease adding obvious puffery as well. Please let me know if there is still confusion. Kuru (talk) 14:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest editing and writing about yourself

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Wriggley. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Will Kirby, 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 04:09, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
