Welcome!

Done, thank you very much. I have now copied your clarification to your user page. Feel free to remove all of these messages. :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Cecilrrose, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:25, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cecilrrose. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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:Cecilrrose. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cecilrrose|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:25, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits 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:Cecilrrose, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cecilrrose|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:34, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You still have not responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:42, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thank you very much. I have now copied your clarification to your user page. Feel free to remove all of these messages. :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note about above warnings

Hi Attawaysmith has taken the time to explain the situation on my talk page. Before continuing to edit, please add a notice to your user page, or at least below this message on your talk page, containing the following information:

I do not receive, and do not expect to receive, any compensation for my edits, per WP:PAID.
I am aware of the WP:SOCK policy, especially the part about "meatpuppetry". Attawaysmith is a different person, but might share the same IP address. We are, with the policy in mind, sometimes editing the same article together to clean-up the writing.
I am not affiliated with the article subjects in any way; I do not have a conflict of interest per WP:COI.

After that, feel free to remove all my warnings from your talk page, consider them "done, solved" and have a nice day. If there are any questions left, you are always welcome to ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse or on my talk page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 10:34, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started (Jeffrey Lynn Stephanic) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Jeffrey Lynn Stephanic, Cecilrrose!

Wikipedia editor Gab4gab just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Many of the claims are not sourced (works in collections, recognition/awards, lectures/workshops) leaving the notability of this subject in question. Some claims have references that are added information but do not support the verification of that claim by the reader. Content that can not be verified may be removed.

To reply, leave a comment on Gab4gab's talk page.
