Speedy deletion nomination of Troy Vollhoffer

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Troy Vollhoffer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 19:25, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Kaitlyn. I spend time working on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. I am not an administrator. Your edits to date are entirely focused on Country Thunder and people and events related to that company and it appears likely that you have some relationship with that company.

Lots of people come to Wikipedia with some sort of conflict of interest and are not aware of how the editing community defines and manages conflict of interest. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause disruption in the normal editing process. Managing conflict of interest well, also protects conflicted editors themselves - please see WP:Wikipedia is in the real world, and Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia for some guidance and stories about people who have brought bad press upon themselves through unmanaged conflict of interest editing.

As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. You appear to be editing under a real name, but nonetheless, but here in Wikipedia such disclosures must be made explicitly. Would you please disclose any connection you have with Country Thunder? After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 03:48, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Troy Vollhoffer, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:KaitlynHembrook, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KaitlynHembrook|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Dolotta (talk) 16:23, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

I believe I've updated my user page the way you'd like. Can you confirm?— Preceding unsigned comment added by KaitlynHembrook (talk • contribs) 11:31, May 18, 2020 (UTC)

Hi Dolotta, am I permitted to redo the edits I attempted this morning? The information is relevant and sourced. --KaitlynHembrook (talk) 16:58, 18 May 2020 (UTC)(talk

• Kaitlyn, the template looks good now. Thank you! A paid editor like yourself may not edit an article directly. They must rather request the edit on the article's talk page. I'll get back to you further tonight when I have more time. -- Dolotta (talk) 17:11, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you. KaitlynHembrook (talk) 14:47, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

• Hi Dolotta, I have requested edits on the article's talk page. Did I do this correctly? KaitlynHembrook (talk) 17:30, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
