Hello, Trader john1! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Griffin Applied Economics Incubator requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from graduateannouncements.uchicago.edu/graduate/departmentofeconomics. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --- Possibly (talk) 18:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Trader john1. 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:Trader john1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Trader john1|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. --- Possibly (talk) 18:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have not received any compensation for my edits.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Trader john1 (talkcontribs)
Thanks Do you also mean you are not connected to the Griffin Applied Economics Incubator or the University of Chicago? That page strongly looks like it wss done by someone connected.--- Possibly (talk) 20:35, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am a 72 years old mathematician from Florida. I am not connected to the University of Chicago, nor the incubator. What is wrong with the article?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Trader john1 (talkcontribs)
@Trader john1: Copyright issue: it was deleted because it was largely copied from the Internet. --- Possibly (talk) 16:21, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thank you

You seem to be involved in promoting Kenneth Griffin across different wikis. Many of the edits are quite advanced. Any comment on that?--- Possibly (talk) 18:46, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is my first edit. It has many layers. Also, I noticed his article contains un-encyclopedic and excessive content. I have tried to cleaned it on the simple english link. I have also added relevant links and pictures. Please, check.
Please WP:SIGN your posts. Are you working for Griffin? your editing on Griffin is quite advanced, across Wikidata, Spanish Wikipedia and Simple Wiki. Here's a 4K edit on Simple Wikipedia. --- Possibly (talk) 19:12, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. I asked you to please check the edits on Simple English wiki, my wife did the Spanish translation, she is from Argentina. How do I sign?Trader john1 (talk) 08:07, 19 May 2021 (UTC) Will we have to give an explanation for every article or just the first one? Thank you.[reply]

You still have not answered if you are connected to Griffin. Your edits across multiple wikis look exactly like paid editing or COI editing, for which we have specific guidelines. For example in this one you remove negative coverage, which is a hallmark of paid editors. Please explain.--- Possibly (talk) 08:40, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am not connected to Griffin either. I was trying to remove the un-encyclopedic or excessive content, as you said, it seems more like negative or revenge content. I don´t think this type of content will hurt Mr. Griffin, but I consider more important to use the content to inspire and educate younger generations. I don't have millions to donate to an university, but I served my country in the military, as a 72 years old veteran this is the best I can do, we have a responsibility as a society to educate. It is my humble opinion. My wife and I were enjoying the edits :) How do I sing? Trader john1 (talk) 08:59, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The edits you are making, only to Kenneth C Griffin Subjects, across multiple wikis, make you look like a non-neutral editor. You haven't really explained this. "Promoting a cause" is generally not allowed on the wiki, as it impedes our pursuit of neutrality.--- Possibly (talk) 09:16, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand what you mean. We just started few days ago, this is our first article. We first saw the incubator, I thought it was relevant and inspiring that they have a Nobel prize https://news.uchicago.edu/story/nobel-winning-economist-michael-kremer-join-uchicago-faculty-university-professor. I agree with you, it should promote neutrality, not hate, I will add the content should be enciclopedic, we don't know who could be inspired by and want to change the world, it is our duty :) Trader john1 (talk) 09:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

it's one person, one account. That is a strict rule here. See the discussion mentioned below.--- Possibly (talk) 09:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we use the same computer. Is that wrong? I checked the comments below. I totally agree, unconstructed edits shouldn't be allowed, nor un-encyclopedic.Trader john1 (talk) 09:46, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean you are two people using the same account, as in "Trader John1" is two people, husband/wife team? Quite an efficient approach.--- Possibly (talk) 10:18, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, my wife and I. Are you connected to Mr. Griffin? You seem to be taking our edits very personal. Why?Trader john1 (talk) 10:29, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have no connection at all, Never heard of him before I ran into you. Two people, one account is not allowed. You are also edit warring. --- Possibly (talk) 10:34, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Kenneth C. Griffin. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Blocked

[edit]

I have indefinitely blocked you because of your violations of Wikipedia policies, including WP:COI and WP:ROLE. You have shown no interest in ceasing your disruptive editing with respect to Kenneth C. Griffin and related articles, as reported at WP:AN3 and WP:COIN. See WP:GAB for your appeal rights.

Any administrator may unblock you if you acknowledge your conflict of interest and agree that you will not directly edit the Griffin article or any other articles related to Griffin, but instead will use article Talk pages to suggest changes to those articles. You must also cease to accuse other editors of taking your edits "personally", as such accusations consitute personal attacks and are in and of themselves a basis for blocking you.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:50, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
