Welcome![edit]

Hello, Cuaom, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Prime Healthcare Services, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

August 2021[edit]

Hi Cuaom! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Prime Healthcare Services that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. rsjaffe talk 18:29, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Scope creep. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Prime Healthcare Services have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. scope_creep^Talk 14:36, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Prime Healthcare Services. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 17:45, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Healthcare Services Content[edit]

Hi @Cuaom: I had to revert your most recent edits as they don't follow Wikipedia policies regarding sourcing requirements. Wikipedia is not a webhost or here to advertise the hospitals business. Simply adding some controversy section and them loading the article up with promotional muck that violates WP:PROMO is unacceptable. scope_creep^Talk 12:12, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

September 2021[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Prime Healthcare Services. scope_creep^Talk 21:27, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cuaom. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Prime Healthcare Services, 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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:Cuaom. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cuaom|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. scope_creep^Talk 21:28, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I'm not sure why the narrative has been taken down in full? Isn't that against the wikipedia edit policies? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution.

I had a great experience with prime healthcare and am trying to make their page more fair - the HCA and Sutter Health pages, for example, seem to list the exact same type of information I've collected to add to the Prime page.

October 2021[edit]

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Prime Healthcare Services, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Cuaom, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cuaom|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. scope_creep^Talk 20:34, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
