File:Information.svg Hello, Jacobmcpherson. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page IAMSOUND, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{tl|request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: U | now}} - 1614161007) < 13150000 | {{PAGENAME}} | }}--Renat 10:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I've removed (i.e. denied) your Third Opinion request. I can't find anywhere that you're having a dispute with another editor over the things that you listed in that request. More significantly, I can't find a place that any such dispute has been thoroughly discussed on a talk page, which is one of the prerequisites for obtaining a Third Opinion (discussion via edit summaries does not substitute for talk page discussion). Just to get questions answered about the topics you mentioned, rather than dispute resolution, consider the No Original Research Noticeboard and the Neutral Point of View Noticeboard. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:44, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

:Edit summaries are especially important when you are tagging pages for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/CFD/etc.). Please always note what you've done in a brief edit summary. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:35, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello. What was the reason for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neil_Krug&diff=1010287777&oldid=1010216969 moving Neil Krug directly to article space]? Have you read our paid editing advice? To quote that, "you should put new articles through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process instead of creating them directly". Please use AFC in future. Thanks.--- Possibly (talk) 16:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

:Same goes for Corbu (band). You [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corbu_(band)&diff=998230709&oldid=995850751 moved it to article space here].--- Possibly (talk) 17:05, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

:and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kim_Anh&diff=987987111&oldid=987987017 another].--- Possibly (talk) 17:08, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

I did use the process and waited before publishing the article Jacobmcpherson (talk) 17:24, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

::I do not see your use of AFC at all in the above links. It's not a matter of "waiting". We do not want paid editors moving articles to article space on their own. Paid editors are also requested to use the talk page for changes to articles with which they have a COI. Can you commit to that in future?--- Possibly (talk) 19:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry who's "we" - is this a consensus based decision? Jacobmcpherson (talk) 19:38, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

:"we" is the community consensus, per WP:COI and WP:PAY. I think we need more editors to have a look at your paid editing, so I will refer this discussion to WP:COIN shortly. --- Possibly (talk) 19:44, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

File:Information icon4.svg There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. --- Possibly (talk) 19:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Okay, sounds good. I think there needs to be more discussion around paid editors in general, considering I work in a different way than what Wikipedia implies. I do not automatically publish what people ask me to write, and there's often a lot of back and forth with people I publish for. Thanks for opening the dialog Jacobmcpherson (talk) 19:51, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

The person who moved Neil Krug to Draft {{u|Justlettersandnumbers}} is a kind of special user we call an administrator. They generally know what they are doing, and have been vetted by the community. It is usually strongly inadvisable to revert their edits.--- Possibly (talk) 20:52, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

::Where does the consensus come into play with this?Jacobmcpherson (talk) 20:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

:::It seems clear that you are ignoring our WP:PAY consensus, so I guess it comes into play there. --- Possibly (talk) 20:54, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

::::Where's the consensus on that? We're having a discussion about it. I never disagreed with anything. Jacobmcpherson (talk) 20:56, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::BY ,way of explanation, this is how Wikipedia works. We allow paid editors, but we have guidelines (WP:PAY and WP:COI) that we would like you to follow. When you step too far over the line (towards promotion and non-neutral actions) by editing articles directly, moving articles to mainspace on your own, removing maintenance templates, reverting moves to draft etc, you run a strong risk of being blocked, as happened below. If you stay within the guidelines, which are admittedly strict, you don't get blocked.--- Possibly (talk) 21:09, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Neil Krug, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. --- Possibly (talk) 21:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Please note I've modified this block to allow the user to seek additional clarification per Special:Diff/1011705716. At present, the block from editing articles remains in place, though I'm not sure Request reason remains applicable, and the partial block could be appealed at WP:AN. The block modification should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the block. –xeno^talk 15:43, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

• {{U|Jacobmcpherson}}: With the modification I've made above, the block from editing articles placed by {{u|Justlettersandnumbers}} remains in place; they mentioned in Special:Diff/1011705716 they were seeking certain acknowledgements. At present, you can post to their talk page or the linked thread. Wikipedia:Partial blocks are also appealable at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Please let me know if you have any questions or require assistance. –xeno^talk 16:17, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

The Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requires disclosure of all of the client, the employer, and any affiliates. It seems right now you've disclosed an employer.

Please refrain from further paid edits for specific clients until the general issue of the specific disclosure of your employer's clients is remedied.

As noted at the ongoing WP:AN thread, further paid activities for specific clients (e.g. AfD contributions, article talk page contributions) without proper disclosure of all relationships may result in the original block being re-instated.

Let me know if you have questions. –xeno^talk 19:15, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

:Thank you for your feedback @Robertsky. Do you have examples of good BLP articles on Wikipedia? From my perspective, it's challenging because there's some published BLP articles which don't follow the format you suggested. Anything to help me get the structure sorted is greatly appreciated.
