Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Robert Emery (pianist) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Robert Emery (pianist) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9VBXWkd14Q, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npbatBVYF4Y) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Hi, given your username I'm wondering if you have a conflict of interest regarding the article on Robert Emery (pianist)? If you know, work for or represent the subject of the article, please do not edit the article directly, but propose changes on the article's Talk page. Thanks.

Adding that I see you have described the photograph of Emery you have uploaded as your own work. Tacyarg (talk) 19:04, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Stewart Copeland, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 16:58, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please follow the link and watch Mr Copeland accept the award from this music education website and discuss the important of music education. I do not understand why you feel this is advertising material. Please advise. 213.18.139.2 (talk) 18:33, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I'm not questioning whether it's true. I'm saying it's not important to Copeland's career. One way to know that something is important is when WP:SECONDARY sources report on it. Sources that are not directly involved. Binksternet (talk) 19:46, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Who are you to determine what is important in someone’s career? I would never want to make assumptions like that.
I understand regarding secondary sources. That is a fair point, and I’m sure they’ll be another source who will respond in time. 213.18.139.2 (talk) 23:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I am a volunteer Wikipedia user who has been around long enough to know about Wikipedia policies. Judging whether something is important is easy: if the media report it then its importance rises dramatically, and the more media cover it, the more important it is.
I want to make it clear that your single-purpose involvement with Robert Emery's biography is a giant red flag relative to you promoting his Ted's List as a reference. I am seeing a clear conflict of interest. Binksternet (talk) 02:58, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I do work for Robert Emery, and I do like to make sure that any data about him or his projects on the internet is up to date and accurate. I have no idea why that’s a negative thing, but to be honest, the hassle of haggling with a volunteer over publishing factual information just isn’t worth the hassle!
Enjoy your editing. 213.18.139.2 (talk) 08:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
