  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Warren Bird, from its old location at User:Drbirdassistant/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

 

Hello Drbirdassistant. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Warren Bird, 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:Drbirdassistant. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Drbirdassistant|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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:17, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you @Curb Safe Charmer: - I have added the disclosure to my userpage. Is there anything else I need to do? Drbirdassistant (talk) 20:17, 31 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Adding the various comments below to this, I can see about a month's worth of work here, perhaps a little less. I hope you can prove Bird to be notable, but the selection of references so far suggests Bird wants this article as a vanity piece. Please be assured and assure him that no vanity piece will happen.
You also need to be aware, m as does Bird, that articles are the property of Wikipedia and Wikipedians. As a paid editor, if it is accepted as anaticle, you may not edit it. This means that well referenced material if any that shows Bird in a negative light will be included by any editor in good standing in the future. Fiddle Faddle 18:11, 24 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
