Thank you so much for your advice🙏. I'm new and improving myself to become a pure Wikipedian. Definitely, I will follow your instruction and thanks again. Goldabrun (talk) 16:59, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Goldabrun, feel free to leave a message on my talk page in the future if you ever get stuck with anything on here. :) -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Goldabrun. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Nicholas J. Ayala, 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, clients, 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. You don't need to be paid by them to have a potential conflict of interest. Kj cheetham (talk) 18:45, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you so much for the guide. I know Wikipedia is not a place for advertising or promoting anyone. To be honestly, I'm working with this person right now. But he didn't paid me anything. In that case what should I need to do? Do I need to disclosed the paid contribution(on my userpage) or I need to put while editing the article {{request edit}} on talk page ? I didn't create this article as you can see. Even, I don't want to be a paid contributor on Wikipedia. I'm just adding references, Sources, wikilink etc. Please suggest me. I don't want to violate any rules of Wimedia Policies. Thank you.

Regards Goldabrun (talk) 19:10, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, given it's not paid, you don't need to disclosure that on your userpage, but I have disclosed your connection for you on Talk:Nicholas J. Ayala. You may wish to use Template:UserboxCOI on your userpage as well. My recommendation is to make use of Template:Request edit on the talk page for anything other than minor changes, but be aware sometimes it can take a few weeks for someone to respond. You can also ask for further advice at WP:TEAHOUSE if you'd like. Hope that helps. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:20, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your advice, Sir. I really appreciate for your help. Definitely, I will follow the instruction.

For now, do I need to change/add anything? Goldabrun (talk) 19:36, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your understanding. I don't think any further immediate action is needed. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:42, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

• Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
• State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
• Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

Request reason:

I deeply regret my previous actions involving undisclosed paid editing on Wikipedia. I understand the seriousness of the issue and the harm it can cause to the platform's integrity. In the future, I am committed to editing Wikipedia articles completely transparently and ethically. I will begin by ensuring full disclosure of any conflicts of interest on my user page and the relevant article talk pages. This transparency will be a top priority to maintain the trust of the Wikipedia community. I will strictly adhere to Wikipedia's policies, including those related to neutrality, verifiability, and reliable sourcing. All of my edits will be made to present information in a neutral and unbiased manner, supported by reputable references. Additionally, I am dedicated to collaborating openly with other Wikipedia editors. I will actively participate in discussions, seek consensus when necessary, and be receptive to constructive feedback from the community. I understand the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest. I will refrain from editing articles with a confrontation unless there is a compelling reason; I follow Wikipedia's guidelines for transparent editing in such cases. I will prioritize the quality of my edits over quantity, focusing on making meaningful contributions that enhance the encyclopedia's reliability and usefulness to readers. I have taken the time to educate myself about Wikipedia's guidelines and policies to avoid repeating past mistakes. I am committed to contributing positively to Wikipedia and rebuilding trust within the community. Thank you for considering my request for a second chance.I'm confirming that I read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.

I believe in full transparency when it comes to my editing activities on Wikipedia. Here is a clear description of my compensation and affiliations:

Compensation: I want to make it unequivocally clear that I have never received any form of compensation, financial or otherwise, for my edits on Wikipedia. My contributions are entirely voluntary and are driven by my passion for contributing to the free dissemination of knowledge.

Affiliations: I am not affiliated with any organizations, companies, or individuals that would create a conflict of interest in my editing activities on Wikipedia. I have no financial, personal, or professional relationships with any subjects or topics I have written about on the platform.

Conflict of Interest: Given my commitment to maintaining neutrality and objectivity, I take conflict of interest (COI) issues seriously. If, in the future, I find myself in a situation where I do have a potential COI with a subject or topic I wish to edit, I will adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines by fully disclosing my affiliation on my user page and the relevant article talk pages. I will also seek consensus and input from the Wikipedia community before making any edits in such cases.

My primary goal is to ensure the accuracy and reliability of Wikipedia's content while upholding the highest standards of ethical editing. I am fully aware of Wikipedia's policies regarding COI editing and will adhere to them rigorously in all my future contributions.
