November 2019

Hello MatthewLanez. 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 Mawsua, 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:MatthewLanez. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MatthewLanez|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. ST47 (talk) 00:44, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am not being paid by anyone ST47, I have read Wikiepdia's terms and conditions and I know for a fact, that I have to state if I am being compensated when writing an article, which I am not. 8:55, 23 November 2019 (EST)

Unblock appeal

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

MatthewLanez (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

ST47 is assuming that I am connected to someone that is in no way shape of form related to me, I state in my talk page that I am new and to be patient with me. He didn’t give any factual information about why he blocked me, he is just assuming that another user that pitch in with me, is doing sock puppetry. He literally stated that his reason was “I’m sure” that’s not a factual reason.

Decline reason:

Sockpuppetry was confirmed. Yamla (talk) 14:24, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Block evasion

This user has continued to set up accounts to evade their block. --Yamla (talk) 12:50, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:MawsuaHeat2019.jpg

The file File:MawsuaHeat2019.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Uploaded for Mawsua. No other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 12:29, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
