Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, RingSoap. 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• 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. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:10, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

ok please change the name RingSoap to Geoffrey Scott Hyde as my Wikipedia registered name and please remove any links and that should be acceptable yes? RingSoap (talk) 00:17, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

ok please change the name RingSoap to Geoffrey Hyde as my Wikipedia registered name and please remove any links and that should be acceptable yes? I was trying to keep the page up to date with the modern times. By providing the links, NOT spam, rather direct related links that provide documented information related to the individual, is the modern way with social media and social networking, my suggestion is to allow this as Wikipedia will become more popular this way linking it to the other sites as well possibly providing Wikipedia opportunity to generate sponsors and cash flow to help support the website, amazing, thank you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Please don't write about yourself Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:08, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by acting as a widely accessible and free encyclopedia; a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge.

You are preventing the sharing of knowledge and within knowledge is equal opportunity. I will puruse legal action against you or anyone that prevents this. We are talking about sharing information about an inventor and the journey. How is it different; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_carpet these writings promote the idea of carpets and the magic within and powers to be and the story behind the individual. Now since you work for Wikipedia and represent them, may you please share a draft of the proper way to write and present the facts of the information provided? RingSoap (talk) 15:31, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, PR people aside, all editors are volunteers. You will find it difficult to persuade volunteers to help you by issuing legal threats. Read WP:GNG for the criteria that the subject of your draft has to meet. While your draft was deleted, I do recall a section on the "philosophy" of Hyde--this section, for example, was very promotional. You will find this type of section in other articles only when there are good sources for it. Opinions and value judgements also have to be attributed. 15 (talk) 16:52, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for providing advice, however it seems if you truly wanted to help, you would simply provide a suggested edit and assure proper documenting of facts rather then speedy deletion of efforts to share interesting information to help for educational purposes. What do you suggest? Your position and ability is acknowledged and being observed. RingSoap (talk) 17:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

That is not 15, Jimfbleak, or any other editor's responsibility. If you violate policy and try to use Wikipedia to promote yourself, someone else should not have to do clean up. Also I HIGHLY recommend removing that legal threats, because that is even more likely to cause an editor to be blocked than promotional editing. GPL93 (talk) 19:48, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

The reason of writing is to share knowledge. I am helping people. You are preventing this publishing nor are you being helpful as to advice what terms to remove, what links to remove, in comparison to other publishings, I must say I disagree with your methods. You could be more helpful in assuring proper publishing rather then denial. Thank you for your expertise and help. I uphold my legal rights and ask for assistance in a correct publishing as I am new to this. Thank you RingSoap (talk) 20:34, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

You're writing to promote yourself, which is against policy (both writing about yourself and the promotional editing). You have been advised not to do this and to be honest there's nothing that indicates that Geoffrey Hyde comes remotely close to meeting Wikipedia's notability requirements to merit an article. This is not an indiscriminate collection of information, this is an encyclopedia of notable topics. You agreed to follow Wikipedia's policies when you created your account, so "legal rights" aren't really applicable. GPL93 (talk) 21:05, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Promote myself? No I am providing information of an inventor to share opportunity, to share a journey. How is speaking about the ringsoap development and journey any different then speaking about the magic flying carpet development and journey? 173.73.231.179 (talk) 21:09, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Well, to start there isn't any potential of personal or financial gain from an article about a fictional mythical phenomenon that has existed in in cultures across the world for about a thousand years.... GPL93 (talk) 21:15, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

its promotion of a mans journey and promoting carpets and creating potential belief to aspire to be. I am sharing a story of an inventor and his journey to help others aspire to be and learn. I am sharing knowledge to help. Ok you have your opinion, I accept it, however I disagree and feel you could explain exact details to be fair and supportive. The idea is to share knowledge and help others and what you are doing is preventing it based upon what rule what law? 173.73.231.179 (talk) 21:59, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Spencer^T•C 02:22, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Spencer, thank you, I was just coming to block this prom-only account myself Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:37, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

RingSoap, also note that the block notice above offers you a route to continue editing if you wish to contribute to the encyclopaedia on a topic unrelated to yourself, but you cannot be unblocked while you maintain a legal threat against us Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:12, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
