Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to High-visibility clothing. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Meters (talk) 06:17, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Loblaw Companies, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. Stop adding commercial sites as refs when they do not support the claims. Meters (talk) 06:24, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Meters, thank you for the clarification. I understand your concerns and apologize if my edits were interpreted as promotional or inappropriate. My intention was only to provide a relevant external resource that offers insight into wholesale apparel distribution, particularly in relation to private-label clothing models like Joe Fresh.

I now see that the links I added did not meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliable and non-commercial sources. I will refrain from adding such links in the future and will take more care to align with Wikipedia’s guidelines. I appreciate your guidance. "mateoanthony04" (talk) 06:41, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi "mateoanthony04"! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. multiple articles Meters (talk) 06:25, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the note. I understand now that my edit may not have been minor. I’ll be more careful with edit summaries moving forward. "mateoanthony04" (talk) 06:43, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at High-visibility clothing. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. Stop spamming that company's website into Wikipedia Meters (talk) 07:03, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your talk page is not the place to write articles. I have moved your content to your sandbox User:"mateoanthony04"/sandbox. Meters (talk) 20:32, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, "mateoanthony04". We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page User:"mateoanthony04"/sandbox, 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. Your draft article (that I moved from this talk page to your sandbox) is about the same company that you kept trying to link to in your article edits. Do you have some connection to this company?
