Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:09, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello, Mediatech1. 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. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:09, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:10, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

January 2020 edit
Hello Mediatech1. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to William Gazecki, 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:Mediatech1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mediatech1|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. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 21:06, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello Mediatech1, I received an email that said there is a potential Conflict of Interest with respect to your attempt to restore the William Gazecki article to a previous version. Thank you! I truly appreciate the effort and interest in resolving what has been a terrible mis-use of Wikipedia open editing control. The page was terribly abused sometime last year in a manner that had no recourse for repair or restoration (no undo option). And, due to a lack of accessible Wikipedia arbitration methods, this egregious act remained un-addressed until your recent effort. Which I truly appreciate. I want to make it clear in every way I can that you ARE NOT being compensated for what you have been doing in any manner. Certainly not by me. You and I should find a way to communicate outside of Wikipedia so I can find out who you are! If you or anyone else reads this, I would like the William Gazecki article to emulate this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Walker_(director) She does what William Gazecki does, and her page is formatted in the exact manner the previously deleted William Gazecki page had been. Why one is allowed and another is not is a mystery that deserves attention. Thank you Mediatech1, and I look forward to discovering who you are.

February 2023 edit
Hello, I'm Wcquidditch. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, KMEL, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 08:41, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi there
- I'm somewhat of a noob here at Wikipedia so bear with me. I responded on your talk page i believe. I reviewed the KMEL edit. I worked as an engineer at KMEL so my statements while seemingly unsupported are true. I dont know how to prove Martin Walker was chief engineer or that Harold Hoogasian delivered flowers there but it's true. His company who gaze and flowers is still an existence. That's why I provided the link.
- This was 1976, pre internet era. I have my business card from my time there. Martin Walker is deceased but he and I were responsible for putting the station on the air and for the audio processing of the broadcast signal that gave KMEL a unique sound that distinguished us from other broadcasters in the Bay area. The relationships w FM Productions, Bill Graham's company that put on the Days on the Green concerts in the Oakland Coliseum is also true. How do I prove that w a "reliable source"?
