I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Detained International. Thanks! CommanderWaterford (talk) 09:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have a close link, I am not paid, and the article is neither fro or against the organisation, it is neutral and factual commentary Martin Paul Ireland (talk) 09:31, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Martin Paul Ireland, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Detained International, which 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 of use and our policy on paid editing.

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.

Thank you for the information. I do not have a close link, I am not paid, and the article is neither for nor against the organisation, it is neutral and factual commentary. I became aware of the Campaign the NGO was running from a BBC Panorama documentary and did some research as a friend has had issues in the Middle East, and I am interested in the Human Rights angle, along with writing generally Martin Paul Ireland (talk) 13:39, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Detained International (April 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CommanderWaterford was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Further to the above Editor denies disclosing COI Editing.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Detained International and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Detained International, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Martin Paul Ireland! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Why was the edit declined please

Your submission at Articles for creation: Detained International (April 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Devonian Wombat was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Detained International and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

April 2021

Hello Martin Paul Ireland. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Shamsa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum, 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:Martin Paul Ireland. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Martin Paul Ireland|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. CommanderWaterford (talk) 11:56, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CommanderWaterford I can confirm absolutely and categorically that I am not being paid, I have no conceivable way of benefitting from the edit I made, the information is absolutely true and carefully cited from reliable media sources. I have never spoken to the persons in question, they are held incommunicado in another country to where I live, there is no possible way I am influenced or able to benefit from the information which I have submitted, it is however absolutely true, in the public record and I am in no way involved with the events which happened twenty years ago. The event is mentioned above under 2018 by others, and the 2021 development I mentioned in a neutral and commentarial style is that Cambridgeshire police have received an official request, and responded to say the investigation is re-opened. This is a newsworthy development regarding someone who disappeared twenty years ago and if you can advise if the style or content is wrong, then I will endeavour to meet your requirements, I tried to follow the format of the earlier articles, which are now out of date and required updating, as the investigation is re-opened Martin Paul Ireland (talk) 12:23, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at David Haigh. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Adding WP:ADVOCACY Edits with denying/undisclosing WP:COI is against the terms of Wikipedia Use. CommanderWaterford (talk) 08:55, 19 April 2021 (UTC) I have talked with the editor in question referred to as Melcous on their talk page and reached a resolution, it is why only part of the original edit was reinstated in a revised format as agreed with an additional source added to the two original ones[reply]

Can you advise me of the position above concerning The Shamsa edit, as you haven't responded to my comment above concerning Cambridgeshire police and the update is accurate and sources are referenced. The original investigation has been requested to be opened, and that is all I have said, I do not make any comments other than to state the fact that an old investigation into a missing person has been re-opened due to new evidence. This is noteworthy I humbly submit Martin Paul Ireland (talk) 09:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Zainalee per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zainalee. 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 ~~~~}}. Mz7 (talk) 20:04, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have never abused anyone?? Why or how can an allegation of this nature be allowed Bigfootwriter (talk) 20:09, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
