Advertising of free music at mattgoss.biz[edit]

What are peoples opinions on recent edits putting adverts to free music on this article? They were removed once but have been put back in again. The artists website is listed in the links section and I feel that inline advertising of free music is inappropriate content for this article.

Since these lines were put back in to the article, I felt this may need discussion Ginga (talk) 15:13, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Try and contact Wikipedia, if they see it fit, then they will take it down or ask someone to take it down. - Reggie Reepolar (talk) 06:59, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like two official websites[edit]

Something is weird here. Mattgossofficial removed the ".co" and changed the link in the infobox to http://www.mattgoss.uk. But that takes me to https://mattgoss.la/. There is however still a website https://mattgoss.co.uk/ (with the ".co") that looks similar and has information about the most recent single and the upcoming album. I am going to restore the original url until someone can explain what is going on and we can reach consensus on which website is the official. And if it is the .la one, the url in the infobox should point directly to it. Sjö (talk) 05:57, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps there are two official websites, aimed at different regions. Or maybe one is a fake. @Mattgossofficial: would you like to comment? Sjö (talk) 07:39, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Although on the surface that's what they'd like you to believe. I looked into this closer as something was amiss. the .la website is the fake (or rather unofficial fan site). The Twitter link from that site takes you to an unofficial profile, as does the Facebook link, the Instagram link etc. That said, I'm blocking the Wikipedia account as passing off as somebody they're not. -- Longhair\^talk 08:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed, the .la website footer states "This site is not affiliated with Matt Goss....". -- Longhair\^talk 08:53, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
