Nice BLP there and some good refs that give full WP:SIGCOV, so undoubtly notable. Good luck with it. Britishfinance (talk) 13:38, 18 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello Bending genres since birth. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, 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:Bending genres since birth. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bending genres since birth|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. GSS💬 16:50, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Do not add personal information about other contributors to Wikipedia. Wikipedia operates on the principle that every contributor has the right to remain completely anonymous. Posting personal information about a user is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's harassment policy. Wikipedia policy on this issue is strictly enforced and your edits have been reverted and/or suppressed, not least because such information can appear on web searches. Wikipedia's privacy policy is to protect the privacy of every user, including you. Persistently adding personal information about other contributors will result in being blocked from editing. If you have concerns about a user doing paid editing in contravention of the Terms of Use, you are welcome to forward such concerns privately to paid-en-wp wikipedia.org. stwalkerster (talk) 23:04, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for contravening Wikipedia's harassment policy.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Drmies (talk) 23:05, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • stwalkerster very kindly didn't block you; I did, because you seem to be on some sort of vindictive warpath, and we can't have that. Some of your edits already had to be scrubbed because they were a kind of outing (Bradv, thank you), and all of it is little more than a bunch of uber-verbose mudslinging. Paid editing happens, and accusations of paid editing may be valid, but what you are doing is straight-up harassment. I doubt anyone will unblock you unless you make amends for your behavior, even if your argument has any kind of merit, because the way in which you go about this is unacceptable.
