You included a reference to 'markroachonline.wixsite.com' - are you saying you have no link to that website? GiantSnowman 11:21, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
I was referring to the Barnet FC podcast - as this was an interview with Warren where he was a guest on the show and talked about his time as a player at Barnet, coming over to England from SA aged 3 and it mentions that he was Barnet's youngest ever captain, so I thought it was relevant and a good source.

Hello, Mark Roach Southall FC. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Early Doors Football Podcast, 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:
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. Thank you. Longhair\talk 11:22, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello Mark Roach Southall FC. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Early Doors Football Podcast, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Mark Roach Southall FC. The template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=Mark Roach Southall FC|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName))
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Longhair\talk 11:24, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Longhair. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to List of sports podcasts have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Longhair\talk 12:22, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
