Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Emanuel Xavier, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 13:21, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Emanuel Xavier, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Apologies. I was trying to add in verifiable citations as requested. Alexis Berger (talk) 16:07, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Emanuel Xavier. Additionally, contentious material shouldn't be added to biographies of living persons without the inclusion of reliable sources. Larry Hockett (Talk) 14:55, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Isabelle Belato. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Emanuel Xavier, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Isabelle ^🔔 12:52, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alexis Berger, I suggest you first find a reliable source that confirms that fact before trying to readd it to the article. I'd also like to use this moment to ask if you have a conflict of interests with the subject of that article, as it appears your whole contribution to the project is related to promoting Emanuel Xavier and removing negative info about them.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Christ Like (fiction novel) (April 20)

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

See WP:NBOOKS

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.

April 2022

Hello Alexis Berger. 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 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:Alexis Berger. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Alexis Berger|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. PRAXIDICAE💕 19:10, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You still have not adequately 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. PRAXIDICAE💕 18:52, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. How do I reply? I am not an undisclosed paid editor. I will look into this. Thanks. Alexis Berger (talk) 20:01, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You need to disclose your obvious connection to the subject. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:12, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He is my uncle-in-law. Alexis Berger (talk) 18:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Openly stating again that the subject is my uncle-in-law and I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. Nonetheless, I withhold from further edits to this page. Alexis Berger (talk) 19:01, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COI

You need to disclose your COI and stop editing the Emanuel Xavier article directly as you're doing nothing but making it worse and more promotional. If you continue to ignore these warnings, I will request a block as this is getting disruptive and is a violation of our policy. PRAXIDICAE💕 15:51, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am simply adding citations as requested. I have already addressed your request by stating that he is my uncle-in-law. I apologize if this is inappropriate and will withhold from any further updates. Alexis Berger (talk) 16:05, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have to disclose it appropriately and further, I'm going to give you one last warning - what you're doing is making the article much, much worse to the point that it's unreadable PR gibberish and no one can parse what should actually be there. If you choose to continue editing, I will be asking for a topic ban as you are hardly able to be a neutral editor and do not understand our sourcing or tone standards. PRAXIDICAE💕 16:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize but please let me know how to go about disclosing this appropriately and further. Again, I was trying to help by adding in reliable citations as requested within the article. Alexis Berger (talk) 16:14, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You could start by reading the above linked policy and making requests on the talk page. PRAXIDICAE💕 16:16, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look for the policy and appreciate your assistance. Alexis Berger (talk) 16:21, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Christ Like

Hello, Alexis Berger,

Thank you for creating Christ Like.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Thanks for the article! A couple of issues, the notability of this is in doubt IMO, as the ProQuest one certainly counts to the general (WP:GNG) guideline, which usually needs at least two reliable, independent, significant refs, or WP:NBOOK, which has additional criteria. But the rest are more questionable. Ref 3 is obviously non-independent, as it's from the publisher. Lots of refs are from Lambda Library, but the GNG guideline states, "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. Here, these refs from this website are all interviews, which seem less than independent from me, together with the absence of critical commentary. Ref 6 and 9 don't seem to be reliable sources; see WP:RS, so I've also added an unreliable refs tag. Ref 2 is (probably, assuming it's not a capsule review) significant and independent, but I'm unsure if it's reliable. One of the WP:NBOOK criteria is about winning a major award, this was a finalist, but didn't win it. Therefore, as my WP:BEFORE search didn't find many other refs, I won't mark this as reviewed for now, if you could address the tags, that would be great!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|VickKiang}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
