Hello, I'm Spotemgottem. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Black British people because they seemed 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.

Thanks for the clarification. My goal was to contribute to the visibility of underrepresented professionals in GTM, not to promote. I’ll review the guidelines more carefully and work on improving my edit history with neutral, citation-supported contributions moving forward Zakery Rathbone-Scott (talk) 16:14, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. DMacks (talk) 16:08, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Promoting another person on Wikipedia

Hello, Zakery Rathbone-Scott. 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
• 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 16:31, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
