March 2019 edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

This includes pages such as the Teahouse. David Biddulph (talk) 12:11, 24 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sure. Thank you (talk). I just replied on Teahouse, but read your message later, so couldn't put my sign. Apologies for that. --Talkman45 (talk) 17:25, 25 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for January 8 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aperture Photometry Tool, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Photometry (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:59, 8 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

March 2020 edit

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Fisher Investments, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Horse Eye Jack: I wonder why my edits were reverted. If you look carefully, I have just re-arranged the existing content on the page and have added new verifiable references. There was no template on the page and my edit summary clearly does say what changes I have done. The immediate revert of my edits makes me think were they even checked. Could you please re-look at the edits and revert them to my version. Thank you. Talkman45 (talk) 16:41, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for March 28 edit

Spelling. edit

Hi. I notice you've been misspelling "grammar." Also, a correction in punctuation is not a "grammer fix"; it's a punctuation fix. Best wishes, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 17:36, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

@BeenAroundAWhile: Thanks for correcting me and your inputs.--Talkman45 (talk) 17:51, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

June 2020 edit

 

Hello Talkman45. 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. 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:Talkman45. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Talkman45|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💬 09:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@GSS: - Thanks for messaging me. I keep seeing your name on so many pages when I click random articles. I just checked all my edits from yesterday and see you have undone my edits on Miyamoto International and there was a correction by AnomieBOT on Shefali Shah, Vipin Sharma and Srimathumitha. Regarding edits, everything I do is always using references I find using Google Search. Most of the times, I just click 'Random article' and start editing. Regarding paid advocacy, I am not making paid contributions to any of the pages. You can check any of my edits from the past - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Talkman45. I only add or remove data after Googling (i don't know any other way to verify information). Days when I have time, I do a lot of research, otherwise it is just small edits or corrections I like to do. Other editors keep guiding me on some mistakes I do and I immediately follow that. So, if something you see needs improvement, please coach and encourage me. I am ready to correct my mistakes or let you know the thought process behind the edits. Thank you. Talkman45 (talk) 16:13, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Some off-wiki evidence suggests you are involved in undisclosed paid editing and I have shared some details with Yunshui. GSS💬 16:16, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@GSS:Thank you for looking into it and your input. Please reach out if you need anything more from my end. Can I continue editing on other pages? I had to also put more edits on Vipin Sharma.Talkman45 (talk) 16:41, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
 
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).

Talkman45 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I just got blocked for no fault of mine. Always did my best which you can check. Please be kind to coach me if wrong, not block me. Other editors have even thanked me for my contributions before. My request to administrators - please unblock. Sooner or later, you will realize I was only genuinely editing. Talkman45 (talk) 21:56, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

You were blocked for abuse of multiple accounts; you will need to address this reason specifically in order to appeal the block. Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:06, 8 June 2020 (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.

@Ponyo: - To outline a specific reason, I do multiple edits almost every other day from only this account. This is the only account associated with me and I have no idea about the other account I was linked to. All contributions are voluntary and factual with no motive to promote or gain anything using multiple accounts. Several other editors have thanked me for my contributions given they were legit. Please coach me if I am doing anything wrong. --Talkman45 (talk) 18:03, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
