Hello Mgravagna. 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 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 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:Mgravagna. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mgravagna|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. David Gerard (talk) 21:50, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

I am a fan of mr blakeman. I do not get paid. Why would you suggest this? Furthermore, I do comply with the editing policy where everything added has multiple credible sources. Mgravagna (talk) 02:36, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

You have literally a single topic of editing. Your editing is indistinguishable from paid promotional editing. If you are not here for paid promotion, I would strongly suggest expanding your range of topics - David Gerard (talk) 10:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Bruce Blakeman. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Apocheir (talk) 19:21, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Also, please read WP:NYPOST and MOS:GIDINFO. Apocheir (talk) 20:05, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

I put no commentary. I put facts and cited with 5 credible sources. 162.84.247.11 (talk) 21:12, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Bruce Blakeman while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Apocheir (talk) 22:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mgravagna. 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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Spicy (talk) 16:57, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
