To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Thorblane. 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 or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
- 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. You edit articles primarily associated with Howard Benson. If you have a conflict of interest, it would be best to disclose it. Thanks. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:36, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- This is now unsustainable. Either you declare your conflict of interest, or I will request that the admin team begin an investigation. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:18, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Walter, I don't understand the issue. I have not made a single edit that has inaccurate information. I have followed all guidelines and have followed your instructions when you provide them. I cite all sources for anything that is not obvious. I do not have a conflict of interest. I can edit a higher diversity of articles if that is what you suggest. I enjoy correcting inaccurate information, but as you likely know, its close to impossible to get credits completely correct and it takes a lot of cross-referencing. These edits are not going to go on forever or something as there is a limit to how far back credits go. I haven't even been able to fully update even one person's credits yet. I am going one at a time. If you want to suggest another songwriter or producer's credits to update, I'll start updating their discography and credits. I don't care who it is. I can also just stop altogether, but I thought I was helping.Thorblane (talk) 18:36, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

One Good Man Productions moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, One Good Man Productions, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
