  Hello, I'm Drmies. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Scum of the Earth (band), because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

  Hello, Scum Lord. 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 Scum of the Earth (band), 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. besiegedtalk 19:28, 17 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Scum of the Earth (band), and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Scum Lord", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. besiegedtalk 19:29, 17 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello my name is Riggs and this is the first time I tried using this page ... I own the band Scum Of The Earth and have the trade mark if you need to see it ... and over the years people add incorrect info to all the pages like my name / birthplace is wrong ... Members of the band is incorrect , past members is incorrect and albums released is incorrect etc... pretty much everything ... So I was trying to make the corrections and add a picture to each page but I can not figure out how to add pictures ... Please Advise RiggsScum Lord (talk) 19:38, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
