Speedy deletion nomination of Renée Cinderhouse

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

August 2019

Hello Genericname23. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Genericname23. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Genericname23|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. GSS (talk|c|em) 05:38, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@(talk|c|em) I am not receiving any paid advocacy, I am researching topics from the general culture and contemporary culture for my Ph.D.

That would be a lot easier to believe if your entry for MyTrendyPhone had not been copied almost verbatim from text provided by the company in an Upwork job. Since you've chosen to lie about this and deliberately conceal your paid connection with the article's subject, as well as adding text that you did not write yourself (which constitutes a copyright violation), I have blocked your account. Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for engaging in undisclosed paid editing and covert advertising, and adding copyrighted material to Wikipedia.

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 ~~~~}}. Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Further investigations shows that you've concealed your paid relationship on a number of other articles as well... Yunshui ^雲 _水 11:15, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This account is also a CU-confirmed sock of Ivj23. Yunshui ^雲 _水 11:28, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The text was featured in a Wikipedia article that was posted a year ago, and I found it in the archive. I don't even have an Upwork account...

Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC) WHY HAVE I BEEN BLOCKED???? I haven't done anything. I was just testing my Ph.D. thesis out, you can even check with my University if you don't believe me! I have a job, I don't use Upwork, nor have I had contact with the company in question. The text I put was a rewrite of the old text that I found in the archive. If I worked with the company, don't you think I would have had better sources and different content that what was posted on Wikipedia before??? I wanted to write about them since they have a shop in my country.[reply]

Seems a remarkable coincidence that you would create MyTrendyPhone, Draft:Leepiei Green, Draft:Help4u.today and Louis Corte all right after those articles were requested and assigned on Upwork... Want to try another tack? Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:26, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
