Conflict of interest editing

Hello, Uriel Dana. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Gage Taylor, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 08:46, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Gage Taylor. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Gage Taylor has been dead 17 years and half of his career as an Arts Ambassador and as an artist was collaborating with me under one entity. This is not self promotion, my art career has nothing to do with Gage Taylor's now. I spent hours listing major museums and exhibits and had tried to lift sources (catalog archives) of these exhibits because most things were not online in the 70's and 80's and have yet to be archived.

I am new to Wikipedia and find it difficult to ad links and references. My husband is in I.T. and he found the same. The current post on Gage Taylor is distorting to his career. It is if the only photo of yourself on social media was a baby photo. Yes, I apprenticed with him (as did dozens of people) but I also am an expert source, have catalogs, magazines, and printed exhibit catalogues of every item I posted. I was trying to work out how to find those things online and propertly annotate on Wikipedia. For example, The Egyptian Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose had a retrospective of Taylor Dana Work. This was not Gage Taylor as an individual but of his 17 years of collaborations on the same painting with another person. I've called the museum twice but they haven't archived their records back that far yet.

My intention was to list the museum exhibits and major shows so that others could help me document. What I had posted were major exhibits that toured internationally.

Did you destroy 20 years of information on this man's career with a click because I am alive? I do not benefit from anything I posted. I've been in the arts 34 years but my paintings are not categorized in the same field. On Linked-In and many other sources I am cited as an expert in the arts and write many articles on the subject.

If you had waited a day or two until I had worked out how to add the links to wikipedia, your rude letter would not have been necessary. You saw my name and assumed I was self promoting. Again, I do not benefit from anything I posted but my intention was to fill in 17 years of my 34 year career in the arts with Gage Taylor a life time ago.

Instead you now have a highly limited post missing many international museum posts by a former arts ambassador that happened to be part of a team.

It would be better with no Gage Taylor post than with what is listed because it is highly distorted and misleading. Gage Taylor was only known for his "psychedelic" art for about 2 years out of 30. What he was famous for was painting collaboratively on the same canvas with another person for nearly two decades.Uriel Dana (talk) 15:43, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
