Alternative accounts

Hi Integritas888. It is good to see someone working to engage in paid editing openly and with disclosure - it would be far less of a problem if more people were to do so. That said, in using an alternative account, you will need to connect this with your main account in order to avoid accusations of sockpuppetry. To do so it is best to follow the options outlined at WP:ALTACCN. Such a connection can be informal, where you simply leave a note on the user page of each account identifiying the alternative one, or formally through the use of the userboxes at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia/Related accounts. - Bilby (talk) 23:38, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please also note per WP:PAID you must disclose where you advertise your services with links to the adverts. Paid editors must also provide links on their Wikipedia user page to all active accounts at websites where they advertise paid Wikipedia-editing services. If an advertisement is removed, any corresponding links on the Wikipedia user page must remain visible for at least one week.[3] Praxidicae (talk) 00:13, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you as well @Praxidicae:! I added it. Integritas888 (talk) 00:34, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also I just noticed you've removed your disclosure notices from your userpage. You really should have them on your main userpage for the sake of transparency and not hidden away in a subpage. Praxidicae (talk) 19:38, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Loginno (March 10)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.

Hello Integritas888. 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 Draft:Loginno, 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:Integritas888. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Integritas888|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. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:25, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying my very best! I keep labeling things per the instructions, and for all the work I did writing articles, I get a ten second review. It is very frustrating, I am doing all I can to follow the interruptions, and it is quickly becoming clear to me why people who edit for any compensation pretend they are not. I will try to keep labeling everything as I have always striven to follow Wikipedia’s rules. Integritas888 (talk) 20:29, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a ten second review, I actually went through and identified several sources that are blatantly inappropriate to establish notability and you should do the same. Forbes contributor pieces, op-eds, listings of events and interviews do absolutely nothing to establish notability. You are experienced enough to know this.
