COI check for Afropunk Festival

Hello. Do you have any association with this festival or the people who run it? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 22:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

No, I worked with someone who worked at the company and attended the festival. I also know a journalist who wrote a story about Lou CD (the angered ex editor of afropunk.com). He told me that he did not research his claims which ended up being salacious and untrue. Andrea Andrews (talk) 20:55, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2022

Hello Andrea Andrews. The nature of your edits 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:Andrea Andrews. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Andrea Andrews|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. CUPIDICAE💕 20:55, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. CUPIDICAE💕 21:28, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
