Hello Cavan.hill. 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:Cavan.hill. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cavan.hill|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. Praxidicae (talk) 20:30, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Praxidicae, thanks very much for addressing this. I, Cavan am not paid or encouraged in any way to edit any article or create any article. I am simply trying to help drafts get started and add content, along with references. Please reply to ask any more questions or assist me (I'd be very grateful!). --Cavan Hill (talk) 20:48, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

I would like a response to my previous question regarding the use of fake sources on the article Draft:James Haworth (musician) including fabricated CNN and Financial Times coverage. Submitting such a hoax is something block-worthy. – Thjarkur (talk) 22:13, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

@Thjarkur, I can see the fake sources have since been removed. I found them on a Google search for news around the subject and was not aware of the false nature of them. All of the 'fake sources' have been removed and over time I'm sure people will find genuine sources for the article. In the meantime, I'm going to move my efforts to other articles, in an attempt to restore my reputation for all my good edits. Please suggest ways of me entering the Wikipedia community and thanks for spending time on this. --Cavan Hill (talk) 06:57, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

The fake sources are still there including your deceptive attempt to pass off worldgreynews as CNN. I suggest you re-read my earlier warnings to you and come clean. If this wasn't an intentional attempt to deceive, I have serious concerns about your ability to edit actual articles as anyone who can read should be able to identify such sources as fake.
