Notice of paid work relating to Wikipedia
Since January 29, 2017, I have been employed as a private contractor by a variety of clients. I’ve used my Wikipedia account in a professional and personal capacity to add factual information to articles related to the clients, only with supporting third party news sources. I have endeavored to make sure all my edits are factually sourced.

The contracts were obtained through a variety of websites. The subjects are checked for notability to the best of my understanding of WP:Notability, etc. Any influence by the client about the actual content of the article are summarily rejected. Independent research is conducted, articles meticulously cited and submitted for review to AFC.

I no longer advertise or actively seek paid work. I, sometimes, continue to work with my previous employers if contacted. However, I am mostly busy with my new career.

Sister projects & interwiki linking

If you want to write a dictionary definition, recipe or quotation archive, consider using one of Wikipedia's sister projects, such as Wiktionary or Wikiquote. These are more specialised, as they focus on a particular type of page. Links can be made to these pages by adding the project name as a namespace ("Wikiquote:", "Wikibooks:", "Wiktionary:"), or using the shortcuts ("Q:", "B:", and "Wikt:", respectively). Wikipedia is written by volunteer editors and hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization that also hosts a range of other volunteer projects:

What "Ignore all rules" means edit

Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind.

Rules are for fools

— Unknown. (As used by coaches/motivators)[2]

By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully, deliberately and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist.

The code is more what you call "guidelines" than actual rules.

The rules are only barriers to keep children from falling.

Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.
