I am trying to read wiki articles on how to reply to the Wikipedia: Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents but it's proving a bit tough. In response, there was a particular day I was unable to use Wikipedia. Every time, I got an error that a certain user using my IP had been blocked for Sockpuppetry. Well, at first I did not know how that happened until I realized someone else using our internet could have been the reason why our internet was blocked. First, I live in an apartment with about 30 houses and we all share the same internet. We don't have individual internets. A day later, I was able to access Wikipedia again.

Hello Kelvin Wanjiru. The nature of your edits 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:Kelvin Wanjiru. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Kelvin Wanjiru|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. CUPIDICAE💕 21:57, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

@Praxidicae FYI: This user seems to be a part of Karna sock farm as described at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1090#LTA sockpuppetry, puffery of Karna of Mahabharata. The first two edits are along the same lines- revert another user and self-revert immediately- who would then be reverted by another user creating a false persona that the third revert (done by another user) would be reverting a disruptive user. Also, the two drafts are poorly sourced just like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ishell Vaughan - all three of them in the films sector. I think all these users work for some company that provides Wiki editing-as-a-service. — DaxServer (t · c) 18:43, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

@Praxidicae Thanks for your feedback in regards to the new pages I have created. I would like to make a reply in regards to the above statements. First, the two pages I have created are on a voluntary basis. If you check my Wikipedia Account, it was created over a year ago. Since then, I have been learning about Wikipedia policies, how to create new pages and articles, the do and don'ts on Wikipedia among others. Just recently, I decided to try and create new articles. So you may wonder how I settled for DJ DEFEO and Anthony forest. The two were my former clients who had hired me to write their personal Biographies for use on their websites. I realized the Bio of the two could qualify as Wikipedia articles and so I requested if I could use their content to test my abilities on creating Wikipedia pages. The reason why I voluntarily proposed to create the pages was because I needed to challenge myself. I have totally no hidden agenda on this except to make my skills better. If you review the keenly, you will realize the pages are a bit basic but with time, I hope to become an expert wiki editor. I am not paid to do this and still don't expect anything from the two guys. My only goal is to learn and become better, with the help of other editors. Maybe in the future, I will earn to create pages. If that happens, I will definitely declare that in accordance with the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Also, if my edits are against wiki policies, I will be happy to bring them down.

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. CUPIDICAE💕 19:06, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Due to past disruptions in the topic areas linked in the individual messages, the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee (also Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee) has authorised administrators to impose sanctions and/or restrictions to users and/or articles where the disruption occurs. The editors who are notified of these alerts, are expected to edit carefully and constructively, to not disrupt the encyclopedia and adhere to the guidelines said in the Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions#Guidance for editors section. Violation of such guidelines can lead to sanctions like restrictions from editing one or more pages where the user doesn't comply, or topic bans, or even block the user from Wikipedia entirely. — DaxServer (t · c) 19:29, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

The first message covers articles about living people (your edits related to your paid contributions) and the second one covers India-related topics (your edits on Kunti) — DaxServer (t · c) 19:32, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
