Christine Leunens article - your banner "blatant undisclosed paid editing"

Hello, I just noticed your banner on top of the Christine Leunens article and read your comment:" No, this is definitely still required – the page has a long history of obvious WP:UPE, ands needs to be cleaned up/rewritten".

Could you please provide some background information on the following:

1) why are you assuming that I am being paid to edit this page, when I am not?

2) all information I have provided is supported by evidence available for anyone to see on the internet - none of it is hearsay or opinion or commissioned - please point out the information that have led you to make this statement.

3) Christine Leunens is a public figure - if you type her name on the internet, you'll see that there's plenty of news about her.

4) what do you mean with "article needs to be cleaned up, re-written" - please advise. Just naming and shaming isn't helpful.

I am more than happy to follow your guidance, if you're willing to give some. Again, I'm not being paid, not employed either, so not sure where you're coming from but I'm willing to do what needs to be done to get the banner removed.

Thank you JRfougnazal (talk) 21:09, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry, JRfougnazal, but I'm unable to believe you when you say "I am not"; you might like to review Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure, particularly this section. The evidence I have is private, so I can't discuss it with you. I would have blocked your account for violation of the WP:Terms of Use, but am no longer allowed to do so on the basis of private evidence alone. I've sent it to ArbCom, who no doubt will or will not take action as appropriate. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:37, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers, appreciate your response. I may have done the same if I were you, but would have checked the source of the "private evidence" to ensure it is

a) from a verifiable source,

b) based on facts and not an opinion or hearsay or someone who has a vested interest in discrediting me, and finally

c) in accordance with the level of transparency required in this matter.

I wish you the best. JRfougnazal (talk) 05:00, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you

		For sending me thanks for this contribution where I did nothing but correct my own mistake. Cyfal (talk) 10:18, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Cyfal, we all make mistakes, I more often than many others. It's good to see someone recognise and correct one (or indeed several!), but the thanks was also intended more generally for your work on typos and the lay/lie thing in particular – edits like this one. I don't have the patience for that kind of work, so I'm glad that some others do. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:27, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
