Welcome!
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Disclosure of employment
editHello Jacobmacp. 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:Jacobmacp. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jacobmacp|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. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:17, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- There was a previous discussion on conflict of interest-type edits to the article Centre for International Governance Innovation at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 95#Centre for International Governance Innovation. In addition to the three accounts mentioned there, I have identified a number of others, this one included. This cannot continue - please review the above policies before making any further edits to Wikipedia. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:52, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for your work here. I've updated my user page to disclose my conflict (though I'll be leaving the organization at the end of January, 2020). The other account is also me, I lost it when I forgot my password and neglected, I'd not set a recovery email. I'll be sure to review the terms of service before making further edits. -- Jacobmacp (talk) 16:22, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for adding your disclosure. If you know of any person(s) who will be succeeding you in your role, you might want to point out to them these matters on Wikipedia, so that the cycle of undisclosed paid/conflict of interest editing does not repeat itself. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:46, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

editHello, Jacobmacp, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Jacobmacpherson (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:26, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- There were edits in close proximity from these two accounts to the articles Centre for International Governance Innovation and Rohinton P. Medhora in July 2019. If you operated the Jacobmacpherson account and have abandoned it, please note that in reply to this message. Also, please respond to the above notice about disclosure of paid editing. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:30, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
