Ways to improve Joshua Lisec

Hello, Doorknobbish,

Thank you for creating Joshua Lisec.

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

The article looks good, just needs an article or two to link to it. Thanks!

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|FatalFit}}. 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.

Hello Doorknobbish. 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:Doorknobbish. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Doorknobbish|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. David Gerard (talk) 16:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not being paid. I was just trying to answer the questions that people raised. Doorknobbish (talk) 03:45, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@David Gerard Can we resolve the issues with this page? I'm hesitant to make any more edits personally because so many of my changes were undone. Thanks! Doorknobbish (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Different question - do you have a personal connection to the subject of the article (family member, friend, student...). That would be a conflict of interest (WP:COI) and should be declared on your User page. David notMD (talk) 23:10, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
