Jeff Selingo moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jeff Selingo, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello Comments78. 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:Comments78. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Comments78|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. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:58, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

That's good for this question. I am not paid for any of my edits or creation of an article. This article that was created by me is the love of his book that attracted me but i don't do paid editing, i have a good business that supports my life that is why i don't usually edit. After the creation of the article about Jeff Selingo, one respected admin took the page to draft tagging that undisclosed page editing, i then noticed that i wrote much about him with sth like advert and finally wrote on the talk page of the administrator explaining why the article was created and regretting for what i did. I re-write the page in a good manner and apologize for the wrong. Finally, if you noticed that my Patten of editing looks like paid editing, i want to notify you that I was not paid for any edit and I am not protecting anybody's interest.

If this provokes the foundation and other respected editors. I am very sorry for that. Comments78 (talk) 18:22, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
