August 2018

Hello, I'm Zefr. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Young Living, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. and on the Donald Gary Young article. MLM news is not an acceptable WP:SECONDARY source. Zefr (talk) 18:16, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Miyagikk. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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 COI 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. Also if you are part of ((as a distributor etc) any of the MLMs you have edited please disclose that as a COI Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:17, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would also advice that if you want to continue editing MLMs (assuming you don't have a COI) to really find independent sources, not listings like Inc 500 or sources that are overtly promotional (indicating reprinted press releases or churnalism) and low quality. See identifying reliable sources for more info on how to figure out if something is a reliable source. Galobtter (pingó mió) 14:21, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Galobtter: The citation for the number of revenues was added back in by Rhode Island Red, and it's citation is the Inc 5000 article. Miyagikk (talk) 23:00, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The ranking itself is meaningless. The revenue could be sourced to that article. Galobtter (pingó mió) 04:40, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mandatory paid editing disclosure

Hello Miyagikk. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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:Miyagikk. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Miyagikk|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jytdog (talk) 16:17, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
