Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Digitalriotmedia. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page John Baldecchi, 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. General Ization ^Talk 21:38, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Your proposed new username

Accept reason:

I have already changed username as I realized it was a conflict of interest. I wanted to write about a company but did not mean to make it appear as though I was acting on behalf of a company. A poor choice of usernames that has since been corrected.

File permission problem with File:DougBarry2019.pdf

Thanks for uploading File:DougBarry2019.pdf. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

January 2019

Hello Harley747898. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Doug Barry, 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:Harley747898. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Harley747898|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. You claim in your rename/unblock address above not to be acting on behalf of Digital Riot Media, and yet you created an article regarding the cofounder and chairman of Digital Riot Media. Please explain this before you make any more edits. Julietdeltalima (talk) 18:27, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

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. Julietdeltalima (talk) 18:34, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{help me}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Use of multiple accounts

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

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 ~~~~}}. Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:23, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot create new accounts to continue the same promotional edits you made under this account.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:23, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As far as CU is concerned the Harley account edited the COI noticeboard on January 30, created the Gracie account on the same device less than 10 minutes later which they used to make innocuous unrelated edits, then logged back in to the Harley account to once again post at COIN. The Harley account then ceases editing and the Gracie account picks up the promotional edits 2 months later. This has all the appearance of willful socking as opposed to newbie error, which is why I have blocked indefinitely.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:31, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
