Hello Beeuu. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Secure Gateway, 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:Beeuu. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Beeuu|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. Sam Kuru (talk) 11:22, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Secure Gateway.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Secure Gateway.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Johnj1995 (talk) 01:40, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Beeuu! Having an article draft 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! See you there! - RichT|C|E-Mail 23:19, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Use of help templates

Over at Talk:Alef Aeronautics#Help, you are clearly engaged in a content dispute. The {{help}} templates are not to be used for such situations, since the helpers who respond will generally avoid weighing in on content disputes. Also, it's best if you use the templates on your own user talk page. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:49, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Warning, and page blocks

Your attacks on User:AndyTheGrump are only too much like the way unacknowledged paid editors typically defend themselves: "looks like a personal grudge or something", "its now confirmed that you have a personal agenda that you don't want to see that car there", "I'm not seeking your help so stay away from this discussion", "you are living to revert changes" (!), "You are not familiar with basic Wiki rules". And you are familiar with them? It doesn't look like it. Civility is policy here, and your aggression when your promotional edits are removed makes a poor impression. If you don't want to be siteblocked, you'd better behave more like a new user trying to learn, and less like a paid editor defending their investment.

Meanwhile, I have page-blocked you from Alef Aeronautics and its talkpage, and also from Flying car for three months. Note that you can still edit Talk:Flying car, since you have so far not behaved badly there, or, indeed edited it. 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 ~~~~}}.

@Bishonen: This is an undiscloed paid editor and sock. I'm upgrading to indef. SmartSE (talk) 15:14, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Well, colour me astonished, not. Thanks, SmartSE. Bishonen | tålk 16:32, 7 June 2023 (UTC).
