Welcome

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.--VVikingTalkEdits 13:38, 30 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Matthijsoudkerk. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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. 331dot (talk) 14:03, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Matthijsoudkerk. 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:Matthijsoudkerk. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Matthijsoudkerk|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. Theroadislong (talk) 14:17, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

  • Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
  • State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
  • Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Matthijsoudkerk (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

The edits for the page were done by the Institute for Diagnostic Accuracy (iDNA), a privately organized research institute situated in Groningen, The Netherlands. Mr. Oudkerk did not pay iDNA for the edits. Mr. Oudkerk is affiliated with iDNA and he asked iDNA to help him with the page. We are proud of the work of Mr. Oudkerk and we feel that he did a remarkebly job in his working life on adding to the scientific knowledge of thoracic imaging. Therefore, iDNA feels that he deserves to be listed on Wikipedia, a platform that we consider as a hallmark for independent and high quality accurate information. That is why we honoured his request for our unpaid assistance. Mr. Oudkerk checked and approved all the edits.

Hopefully this information is helpful to unblock our account. After this, we will add additional references to further back up the claims on the page.

Please let us know your response. Matthijsoudkerk (talk) 09:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

First, group accounts are not permitted on the English Wikipedia; each account must be exclusively operated by a single individual who may grant no one else access. You will need to designate a single person to operate this account. Second, if you are not Mr. Oudkerk, you will need to propose a new username as you cannot use his name if you aren't him. Third, you don't have to be paid by Mr. Oudkerk to be a paid editor, if you work for your organization, you are a paid editor, you don't have to be specifically paid for your specific edits. Either way, you have a conflict of interest. Lastly, whether someone "deserves" to be on Wikipedia is not relevant; we are only interested in summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how that topic meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. Wikipedia is not a place to honor or recognize someone for their work no matter how good it might be. It's also not relevant if the subject of an article approves of the edits or not, since Wikipedia summarizes what independent sources say. The approval of the subject is not required. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term at least, make further edits related to your conflict of interest. If that is your only goal here, there is nothing more to be done about this matter. If you are interested in being a general, individual contributor, please tell what topics unrelated to your conflict of interest you might edit about. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 10:21, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Thank you 331dot for your explanation. Our only intent was to create a page about Mr. Oudkerk that could be verified and substantiated by independent sources. We did not want to violate any regulations of Wikipedia. But now we have a half finished page that can be found on Wikitia and we have no rights anymore to edit the page. How can I remove the page? I will also ask for a change of the username. Thank you for your help. Matthijsoudkerk (talk) 14:33, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wikitia is a separate project from Wikipedia; we cannot help you with issues there. 331dot (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

331dot, I tried to change the username, but I received a response that this is not possible beceause the account has been blocked. Can you temporarily unblock the account, so I can change the username? I have the feeling that I am moving in circles here, so I hope that you would be willing to help me out on this.

Please make an unblock request that proposes a new username. 331dot (talk) 09:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

UTRS decline

I'm sorry, but I cannot unblock you at this time. Please describe in greater detail how your editing was unconstructive and how you would edit constructively if unblocked. ( Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks) As you still have access to your talk page, please post your unblock request to your user talk page, omitting any off-Wiki personally identifying information. If you have not already done so, please place the following at the bottom of your talk page, filling in "Your reason here "
 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
Thank you for your attention to these matters. Please see UTRS appeal #40841. You must deal with your apparent undisclosed paid editing. As I've said, renaming is a separate issue. I've left the template for you to request renaming and unblocking below. You can deal with both at once. Or you can just tell us what knew user name you would like. I would be happy to rename you.
