Paid editing

Hello VentureKit. 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:VentureKit. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=VentureKit|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. GSS (talk|c|em) 15:33, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi User:GSS, I am not being paid to edit but can make better use of talk page discussions as you have mentioned to avoid further concerns. Thank you.VentureKit (talk) 20:42, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello from COI editor

Hello User:VentureKit,

My name is Jeffrey Krasner and I have a small PR agency that works with young biotech firms in the Cambridge, Mass., area. (I came across your name while looking at recent contributions to the Alnylam page.) I am editing the page for David Lucchino, a Boston-area biotech entrepreneur and CEO. I fully disclose my conflict of interest on my talk page and in my proposed edits. (I am being paid by his company, Frequency Therapeutics). I have posted several changes on the Talk page, seeking input from volunteer editors, but haven't yet received any feedback. I should point out that, as a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal and The Boston Globe, I adhere strictly to unbiased facts with appropriate primary and secondary sources that meet Wikipedia guidelines. I know what puffery is and I avoid it at all costs.

If you might be willing to take a look at my proposed edits at David Lucchino, I would be grateful. And I am happy to help out with any articles you might be editing, if you need input from someone familiar with biopharma, health care and drug development. Thanks in advance.JeffreyKrasner (talk) 21:18, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello User:JeffreyKrasner, I can certainly take a look at your proposed edits and give you my thoughts. VentureKit (talk) 18:35, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello User:VentureKit, Thank you for your useful suggestions on my proposed edits to David Lucchino. I appreciate the help.JeffreyKrasner (talk) 20:00, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/VentureKit. 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 ~~~~}}.  ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:18, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Affirm Holdings

The article Affirm Holdings has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Reads like an advert and/or press release. Needs to be scrapped and rewritten.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
