Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:34, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm JJMC89. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Sam Sarpong  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — JJMC89 (T·C) 00:55, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Sam Sarpong with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:38, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Caliboyx70. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Sam Sarpong, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:43, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Dear JJMC89 Thank you so much for all your help, its truly appreciated. I'm trying to get Sam's age back up to the correct age as it was changed two weeks ago for no reason. I'm not paid, but I am helping to get this problem restored as an intern . I have put in the proper request earlier today on the article's talk page. This is very important so you can please change it as soon as possible. It would be greatly appreciated. I have also sent the links on the articles talk page for the request and everything has been done the right way. Since I have followed the correct procedure can you tell me when it will be done.

Please see my comments at Wikipedia:Help desk. Dbfirs 06:55, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Caliboyx70. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Sam Sarpong,. 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. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.

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, and if it does not, 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, 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:Caliboyx70. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Caliboyx70|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.
