Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Okiehistory. 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 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. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 04:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! You confirmed elsewhere that this account is "run by a staff member on behalf of Emmanuel Enid and Wade Burleson". I encourage you to read the above linked conflict of interest guideline and also Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. There are many paid/COI editors who follow the policies and guidelines and are able to effect useful, sustained improvements to their employers' pages. Let me know if you have any questions, or you could use the help me template. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 04:15, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Okiehistory, please do not continue to edit Wade Burleson. If you notice an error or think of an improvement, please use Template:Edit request at Talk:Wade Burleson. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 15:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

It's also important that you formally disclose your status as a paid editor. Please see Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure, which notes undisclosed paid editing as a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Service and recommends the use of Template:Paid as a method of formal disclosure. You could copy and paste the following, or something similar, to User:Okiehistory: {{paid|employer=Emmanuel Enid|article=Wade Burleson}} Firefangledfeathers (talk) 19:05, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Wade Burleson) for repeatedly editing an article while having a clear conflict of interest with the subject of the article..

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 ~~~~}}.   —⁠ScottyWong⁠— 21:36, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
