Recent edits

[edit]

Your edits at The Equals raise a number of concerns. Firstly, they are not supported by reliable sources. Secondly, they appear to be promotional rather than neutral. Thirdly, your user name (which I think you may need to change) suggests that they may represent a conflict of interest. If you are associated with the Equals or any of the band's members, you are advised not to edit the article. I've reverted your edits, pending further discussion. However, I'm happy to help to make sure that the article accurately reflects the current situation regarding the band (I've edited the article quite a lot in the past), and I strongly suggest that you raise your concerns about the article on the article talk page, so that an uninvolved editor can make the necessary changes while keeping within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:33, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created The Equals, and I noticed that your username, "The Equals", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

Hi -I have been an admin user on our Wiki page for years. My name is Patrick William Lloyd and I am the trademark owner of The Equals® in Europe and UK. I am also the only original band member that is active and playing under our brand/trade name The Equals. Anything I edit on this page is truthful or are changes to the line -up. Other than Eddy Grant who is my business partner, no other Equals original members are current band members under the legal name/brand The Equals®, so anything that is written, I check and edit as we have millions of fans who know are keen to know on what is current and truthful. I changed my user name from The Equals to The Equals49 for security reasons. Thank you 82.46.113.86 (talk) 11:39, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
