Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Advertout. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Benjamin Bronfman, 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:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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. Edwardx (talk) 13:27, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Regarding evidence COI on this article, on 30 August your edit summary states "Relatives Section - De-linked an Individual who has been wrongly mentioned as my Relative". Please explain. Edwardx (talk) 13:29, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Edwardx, I am an individual enthusiast looking forward to contribute to Individual biographies of the living persons on Wikipedia. Since I have been keenly following up Bronfman family, I thought of contributing to the page. With regards to your COI, I hereby attach the links that showcase that Global Thermostat is removing CO2 from the atmosphere. [1] Advertout (talk) 08:50, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

This is not a full or acceptable response. As you've continued to make promotional edits that are either completely unsourced or sourced to PR, I've blocked this account. This account also shares a name with a small SEO company, and it seems that you're working from a checklist, as EdwardX notes above. All of this needs to be addressed and disclosures made in any unblock request. Sam Kuru (talk) 11:54, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I understand the facts you have mentioned, this username was created long back but I would like to clarify that I am not associated with the company anymore and this was my personal ID which was used during that phase. I wish to change the current user name and provide factual contributions to wiki pages. Hence I request unblock my account Advertout (talk) 13:43, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

This account was created last month. You immediately started making ridiculously promotional edits to Raghavan Seetharaman and then, a few weeks later, to Benjamin Bronfman. You failed to make the mandatory paid editor disclosures for either article. You also lied about your COI. I don't see any reason to believe you now. Sam Kuru (talk) 15:48, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I totally disagree with your acquisition on me since I am not in to PR, my soul intention was to contribute factual information, I even admitted to change my user name and contribute only factual information, so I request you to unblock me & you have the privilege to give COI in future if you still find my contributions as PR activity. I hope that you consider my request and support budding contributors like me. Advertout (talk) 17:14, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
