Please "sign" your messages

It's a lot easier to keep track of who is saying what and when if you "sign" your messages with four tilde characters, like so: ~~~~. This will automatically be replaced with your signature, which will look something like this, but with your name instead of mine and without the customizations I've put in my "Preferences": davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:25, 22 November 2020 (UTC) Thanks --WaterLord1980 (talk) 19:36, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello WaterLord1980. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raviv Zoller, 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 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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:WaterLord1980. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=WaterLord1980|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. scope_creep^Talk 11:48, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I am not paid or receive compensation for my edits. I have nothing to disclose. WaterLord1980 (talk) 11:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:רונ123 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/רונ123. 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 ~~~~}}.  GeneralNotability (talk) 00:21, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
