  Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, James Rodríguez, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, 86.182.213.38. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:43, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello 86.182.213.38. 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 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:86.182.213.38. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=86.182.213.38|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. John from Idegon (talk) 09:50, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

You do not have a "right" to edit here. You must follow our Terms of Use. Paid editing is allowed here, but it must be disclosed properly. If you are not "allowed" to do that, you cannot edit Wikipedia. John from Idegon (talk) 09:53, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  331dot (talk) 10:06, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

More specifically, you are blocked because you specifically refused to comply with the paid editing policy. If you are a paid editor, you must comply with that policy and declare you are being paid, who is paying you, and any other relevant role or relationship. This is a Wikipedia Terms of Use requirement and not negotiable. You may be unblocked once you comply with the policy and describe what you want to edit about. 331dot (talk) 10:08, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

You stated here "Well I'm not a volunteer. I get paid to do it. It's my job" and you stated here that you could not comply with our paid editing policy. 331dot (talk) 10:13, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm Scott Jackoron and my wife Sara Jackoron pays me £20 a week to improve articles about Airlines and Airports and Tropical cyclones. 86.182.213.38 (talk) 10:26, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
So your wife gives you money to edit about these subjects because she feels like it? For what reason are you being given money to do this? 331dot (talk) 10:31, 27 July 2019 (UTC).Reply
Because she feels that if I help people know when I tropical cyclone forms I'm saving lives and if I help with aviation it gives people information about the airline or Airport and helps then travel. It's basically about helping people. 86.182.213.38 (talk) 10:36, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
I think there is more to this than you are stating, but I'm just going to say that you are free to put this information in an unblock request, which another administrator will review. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I'm Scott Jackoron and my wife Sara Jackoron pays me £20 a week to improve articles about tropical cyclones and Aviation. She gives me it because she feels if I write about tropical cyclones and airlines and Airports it gives people information so basically it is helping people. I must get payed do this, if my wife stopped paying I would not stop because Wikipedia is a great place. I only get £20 extra for helping to world and community. This is only source of income since I stay at home and do housework.my wife works in a bank and earns thousands of pounds a month so it doesn't affect our financial situation. 86.182.213.38 (talk) 10:54, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Riiight. Range blocked for 1 month as a CheckUser action. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:42, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • Why must you be paid to do this? If your wife is paying you, it's not netting your family more money. Would you not do this if your wife didn't hand you 20 pounds a week? 331dot (talk) 10:58, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
From the discussion here, a solution could be an unblock so that Scott could register as an editor and declare paid to edit articles about tropical cyclones and aviation. The facts that he is being paid by his wife, and for article editing versus creation, are in my opinion minor issues. David notMD (talk) 11:28, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
If you see merit in unblocking, I will not stand in the way, but I think there is something else here because the right hand paying the left hand doesn't make sense to me. 331dot (talk) 11:35, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
The range block was done as a CU block, so it's out of 331dot's hands now. John from Idegon (talk) 11:57, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
