Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Chris Fuller (director), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I noticed your edits were marked as minor while making changes that other editors might object to. Those are not minor edits - see WP:MINOR. Gab4gab (talk) 13:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Gab4gab:Hi Gab4gab! Thanks so much for the info, still learning the ropes. I re-added a few updates to the Chris Fuller (director) article with citations from LA Weekly. I was also sure to not mark them minor edits (I thought they were, particularly considering the article is listed in the "1982 births" category but the date of birth was missing). I appreciate the guidance and the friendly manner of delivery. Thanks again! MadJackBoone (talk) 05:45, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, MadJackBoone. 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, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- 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. Spagooder (talk) 16:34, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Spagooder. There is no COI, I'm just contributing to articles on subjects I'm knowledgeable about, interested in and feel I can improve. I don't see any issues with the updates you made to some of the articles I've contributed to in the past. I did add the Documentary language back to the Renzo Gracie article and moved it from the Mixed Martial Arts Career section to its own Documentary section. I believe that may have been the reason you removed it. Everything else looks good. Thanks! MadJackBoone (talk) 02:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
