January 2011

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Denise White. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Safiel (talk) 20:55, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to assume ownership of articles, as you did at Denise White, you may be blocked from editing. Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive, and is a violation of Wikipedia policy.Edits to Wikipedia should have reliable and verifiable citations. Additionally, one should avoid editing one's own article to avoid COI policies. Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships per WP:CONFLICT.

Hey

You really, really have to comply with the requirements here, regarding paid editing, or your account will be blocked.

Also, stop trying to make the Lima article into a promotional puff piece. DS (talk) 00:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be even more specific: a) this is the instructions for people who're taking money to edit; b) if you want to make changes to the article about Ms Lima, you discuss them on the talk page and you reach consensus, c) neutrality means that this has to satisfy both Ms. Lima's most ardent supporters and those who loathe her.

April 2020

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

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 ~~~~}}. ST47 (talk) 06:42, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We are very sorry if we violated any rules or restrictions. We are a PR company and represent Mrs. Jamie Ken Lima. During this pandemic we discussed updating her Wikepedia since it was VERY outdated and didn't have any of her current information. We assume that Wikepedia wants current and correct information on its pages. We added citations for everything we updated but we denied and blocked. I apologize as I see we might be naive or uneducated in the how this process works but if I am being very honest it is very confusing. Maybe someone can help explain what we are doing wrong because we were trying to follow the guidelines with adding the citations and getting the current and correct information on her page. Thank you for your consideration in unblocking me. Denise White DeniseWhite (talk) 16:42, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I left you a very specific message which indicated "stop what you're doing and pay attention". You did not. As a result, you were blocked. So, here's the first thing you need to know: only one person is allowed to use a given Wikipedia account. Account-sharing is forbidden. When you say "we are a PR company", that means that the account will stay blocked. Provided you follow the rules, you-the-employees-of-the-PR-company are allowed to edit Wikipedia from your own individual accounts. Understand? DS (talk) 00:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In their defence, I think there are two editors who have been editing the article in question with their own accounts. Primefac (talk) 01:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) DeniseWhite, you did not use the unblock request template mentioned in ST47's block message, so you are not going to be unblocked. I am not an administrator, but I can pretty much guarantee that you will need to promise to do the following (and then actually follow through if unblocked):

Follow the paid editing policy - if you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, you are expected to disclose that. This is non-negotiable, and in fact failing to adhere to that policy is a violation of the Wikipedia Terms of Use.
If you are going to continue to edit on behalf of a paying client, you will be expected to use edit requests for any changes, rather than editing an article directly.
Confirm that there is only one person operating your account - you have used "we" a lot.
Any edits you make must be supported by a reliable source - we don't care what the subject of the article has to say about herself, we care about what those reliable sources say.

You and (at least) one other editor have engaged in undisclosed paid editing on Jamie Ken Lima's article (as far as I can tell, you eventually did disclose that - but you have been making edits to that article since 2011, and only disclosed yesterday), and that is a significant problem. To be perfectly frank, you should not expect much sympathy from other editors in editing on behalf of your client since you have violated that policy - whether or not you can follow through with what you are being paid to do is not going to matter much to other editors, but if you at least show that you understand the paid-editing policy, you might convince an administrator to unblock you. creffett (talk) 01:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I missed that you've created and have continued to edit a page about yourself. Don't do that either, that's problematic according to our conflict of interest policies - again, you should be making edit requests on the talk page of the article rather than editing it directly. creffett (talk) 01:08, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Denise White

The article Denise White has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable as a business person or pageant titleholder (minor award - Congeniality)

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.
