Help me!

[edit]

I would like to attribute edits I made using 2 IP address accounts to my current username. What options do I have?

CartleR255 (talk) 15:08, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can't change username to IP or vice versa. Praxidicae (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Could you make an exception because I know which account it was. CartleR255 (talk)
No, it's simply not possible with the Mediawiki software. Praxidicae (talk) 15:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You could claim (informally, since there's no way to verify) certain edits by adding a section on, say, your user page, and linking to the edits (you can use the [[Special:Diff/nnnnnnnnnn]] syntax, somewhat neater than URLs) with a note saying that you acknowledge having made these edits without being logged in, perhaps disavowing edits made by others using that same IP. I realize this is perhaps impractical if there are a lot of them. It is similar to placing a notice about alternate usernames that you may have had (or still have). Editing while logged out or from multiple accounts is not against the rules, all by itself, but you have to avoid behaviors considered sock puppetry. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 20:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020

[edit]
Information icon

Hello CartleR255. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to COSCO Shipping, 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:CartleR255. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=CartleR255|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. Matthew hk (talk) 14:43, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Matthew hk: I am NOT paid for my edits. Do you understand or should I repeat myself? CartleR255 (talk) 17:50, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nevertheless, it seems extremely likely that you have some connection to the company. Please disclose that before making any further edit relating to company or any part thereof. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:27, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Justlettersandnumbers: I swear I don't have any connection to the company. How about this: In the future, I will not make bold edits/merges to COSCO Shipping articles. Cartle R255 15:55, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is, your COSCO Shipping Lines, either copy and paste from somewhere. Either you use offline draft, or likely provided by other and you just paste it in that article title, which has a lot of content that not related to the container liner division at all.
Also, as you said, the company website of COSCO (cosco.com) is dead as a rationale to merge COSCO into COSCO Shipping, but at the same time you used webpage from that domain as citation and alleged that the accessdate is December 2020. It is not possible to access a dead link unless you used wayback machine (which if you do, you also cite the archive url).
Which either mean, 1 ) the domain is not dead just not accessible by me
Or, the draft of "your" article is not written in 2020 and may be long ago and you just put a random date as "accessdate"
Or something else.
Matthew hk (talk) 16:59, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote all of the content myself in 2020. I accessed cosco.com from wayback. Please see here. Cartle R255 17:03, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
