Managing a conflict of interest

edit

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

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. 2A00:23EE:19C8:BA81:48C:2DFF:FEC5:9914 (talk) 03:56, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of MUSQ

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on MUSQ, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
  • It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
    If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. 2A00:23EE:19C8:BA81:48C:2DFF:FEC5:9914 (talk) 05:02, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello Anonymouscontent. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to David Schulhof, 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:Anonymouscontent. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Anonymouscontent|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. 2A00:23EE:16A8:C58:6836:22FF:FE30:62BD (talk) 06:47, 28 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

 

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to David Schulhof, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Anonymouscontent, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Anonymouscontent|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. 2A00:23EE:1848:7FA:98EC:F7FF:FE49:F927 (talk) 05:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

 

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. 2A00:23EE:2148:88DE:7893:36FF:FECF:C274 (talk) 02:36, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I second that. Stop editing that page immediately. If you continue to edit that page in contravention of the policy on paid editors, you and all your accounts will be getting reported, and blocks requested. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 02:45, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Actually, I've got a new idea. If you edit that page again, you are going to be getting a block requested as an advertising-only account. Almost all your edits have been to that page, and all your edits have been aimed at getting the spammiest possible article kept on the encyclopaedia.

Use of multiple accounts

edit

  Hello, Anonymouscontent, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as JamieSim95 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. 2A00:23EE:16A8:C58:6836:22FF:FE30:62BD (talk) 06:49, 28 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
