Managing a conflict of interest

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

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 01:08, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jonathan Andrew Smith (March 18)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Kirbanzo was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Assuming your username is related to the subject, this is an autobiography, which is a violation of Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest editing. An article about you will likely appear if someone who does not have a COI deems you notable enough for conclusion - this version just cannot be accepted due to being created by the subject.

March 2020

Hello Jon Smith (Sports Agent). 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:Jonathan Andrew Smith, 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:Jon Smith (Sports Agent). The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jon Smith (Sports Agent)|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. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 14:05, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

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 ~~~~}}.  Yunshui ^雲_水 06:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Compromised

The operator of this account has shared its password with me via email (unsolicited). Since it is impossible to know how widely this password has been shared (it appears that they themselves may have been given it by another person who was not the original account creator), this account should be considered compromised, and should never be unblocked.
