August 2015[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Trackd Music, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. -©2015 Compassionate727(Talk)(Contributions) 18:14, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, RussSheffield. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Trackd, 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.
- 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
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. —C.Fred (talk) 00:29, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
October 2018[edit]
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to EasyJet. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

- Hello David. My edits are not meant to serve as advertising or promotion. They are relevant facts. I was the CEO of Tableau the Digital Agency that convinced Stelios and easyJet to employ the internet. As such we changed the face of that business substantially. Recognition of this is appropriate.----
- You may not use your first-hand accounts of events alone to add to a Wikipedia article. It needs to be backed up by a published, reliable, independent source. —C.Fred (talk) 11:41, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- As detailed above by C.Fred, you may not use first-hand accounts of any event without independent, not first-hand, reliable published sources. Your "edits" still appear to be self-promotional - a subject which you have been warned about before, or you may face further action. Also please sign any "contribtion" in the normal way. Thank you and regards, David J Johnson (talk) 11:49, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, the reliable sources should not be first-hand. They should be secondary sources: newspaper, journal, or magazine articles written by journalists based on research done of the situation and subject to editorial review. —C.Fred (talk) 11:56, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
