Speedy deletion of Whitehaven Amateurs F.C.

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Whitehaven Amateurs F.C. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

  Hello Neilho. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Gill Fielding. 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.

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, 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:Neilho. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Neilho|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. SmartSE (talk) 10:58, 18 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Final warning on undisclosed paid editing

edit

You told me back in November that you weren't being paid to write Draft:Gill Fielding and yet I notice that her company is listed as a client on a website of a freelance writer with the same name as you and someone of the same name has written a book with her. That's beyond coincidence and if you continue to fail to disclose your conflict of interest you will be blocked from editing. You've already wasted considerable amounts of volunteer's time. SmartSE (talk) 15:07, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I have added the COI template to the Gill Fielding page, but not the paid one as I continue to insist I am not being paid to write this article. In fact, to accuse me of lying and publicly outing me in this manner could be construed as WP:HAR. However, I do respect your intentions SmartSE and probably should have been more forthcoming about my COI in this article so probably have myself to blame. For public record I still insist the subject is notable and that the current version of the article is 100% neutral and tied to the references. It is sad to see some other editors jumping in with the most spurious attacks now that the MfD discussion has been instigated but I guess that's human nature. Now that I am aware I shouldn't have even attempted to write the article myself I will be looking to advocate on the subjects behalf and would appreciate if a friendly editor would take up the challenge when the dust has settled. This has been my most trying experience on Wikipedia to date but I guess it's all a learning experience.
