Links to draft articles

File:Information orange.svg Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to :Pellet grill. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. {{#ifeq:{{lc:}}|yes|An edit has converted these links, into links to the not-currently-existing page (redlinks) where the draft will be placed if it is eventually accepted. Thus the links will automatically become valid links aimed at the correct target when and if the draft is accepted.|These links have been removed.}} Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 22:28, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello Hardc0replayzhistory&news. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Hardc0replayzhistory&news. The template {{tl|Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{tlc|paid|2=user=Hardc0replayzhistory&news|3=employer=InsertName|4=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. Seraphimblade Talk to me 16:53, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

:I'm not paid to edit. If you would like to help me, go to my email. Thank you! Hardc0replayzhistory&news (talk) 12:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

::I can't "go to your email", as I do not know the password to your email, nor want to. Talk pages are how we communicate on Wikipedia, not email. You seem very fixated on this "Traeger grill" stuff for an unpaid editor, even up to a whole bunch of inappropriate external links and inappropriate trademark symbols. Articles should have one link, to the article subject's website, in an "External links" section at the bottom of the article, and should never use any trademark symbols.
