creating an article about the band Vandalye. Is it a conflict of interest if I listen to a band's music if I am creating its Knowledge page? I recently requested to change my username, so that my actual name isn't part of it anymore, because I had recently received a couple of messages on my LinkedIn regarding Knowledge - I mentioned this clearly in my username change request. I also read the noticeboard entry

There was no COI, nobody asked me or paid me to make this or any other page, so I can't admit to it. I listen to the band, I looked up if they have a page, found a redirect, found sources, wrote a draft, and published it by removing the redirect. That's all there is to it. 3547:

There is a Refspam for adding a source to an article about Jigsaw puzzles. A) Why would I reference spam an article about jigsaw puzzles? B) I thought that reference was absolutely fine.

I created several pages, some of which were edited by accounts that were eventually deleted for being sockpuppets (I think it means abuse of multiple accounts by the same user, but I don't see how that applies to me). This is the only account I have and use. - If I am wrong about this point, please

I don't even know who that is. 2694:, I was going to ask you if you’d like to be adopted? I could possibly adopt you, this account isn’t that old but I could share my experience with you.
