Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with David Masciotra. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Masciotra. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Largoplazo (talk) 12:39, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in a dispute not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Here to build an encyclopedia. Largoplazo (talk) 13:05, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Epigrammatist. ansh 666 19:19, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing inquiry

Hello Epigrammatist. 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.

you're kidding, right. Epigrammatist (talk) 00:08, 23 April 2018 (UTC) Epigrammatist has no stake in financial matters, his nature of promotion is truth[reply]

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:Epigrammatist. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Epigrammatist|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.

In particular this statement on your user page ("DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE. COPYRIGHT, CALUMET MEDIA (2018)") is of concern. In particular, if an entity other than the person who is writing the material claims copyright then everything you write is a copyright violation.
Also, while Wikipedia gives, by custom and courtesy, a user control over their user page you have no right of ownership over your user page. For more details please see the the release ("By publishing changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license.") you agree to whenever you save an edit.
Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated. Jbh ^Talk 19:35, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
