Women Thrive Worldwide

I've linked it. The link is red but will turn blue when an article is created. Redlinks are meant to be used when you think the subject is notable. Please read WP:ORG, WP:LAYOUT and WP:CITE if you haven't edited much. Dougweller (talk) 19:37, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

You won't need to change the link I made, it just turns blue as soon as an article is created. You might want to do it via WP:AFC as you will get help that way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 19:50, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, real life. Anyway, I've moved the article to the new name and made a minor fix to the first sentence, but that needs to be improved. Over to you now. Dougweller (talk) 16:56, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Betsy Mitchell, U.S. Olympic swimmer

Hi, Mkingsense. I just reviewed your recent edits to the Betsy Mitchell article. You have made a number of unsourced changes to the infobox and text, including changing the subject's full name and birth place, which are contrary to reliable third-party sources (see, e.g., Sports-Reference.com). You also did not include any sources for the changes you made regarding the subject's university degrees. All statements about living biographical subjects must be verifiable with reliable sources per WP:BLP, WP:V and WP:RS, otherwise they are subject to being reverted for lack of sources. Please advise.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. I'm not necessarily accusing you of anything, I just think you may have more detail on your relationship with CIRM that may be useful to get on record. MarginalCost (talk) 19:24, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Mandatory paid editing disclosure

Hello Mkingsense. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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, and if it does not, 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:Mkingsense. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mkingsense|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Template:Z159 -- Jytdog (talk) 20:06, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

I have zero COI with this. I am receiving zero compensation from CIRM.
