Craig Alan Huey (American Politician)

I've deleted the page as it already exists as Craig Huey. You should make edits to that page. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 23:56, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, PeterGuirguis10, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 01:00, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:PeterGuirguis10/Sandbox

I have restored it at User:PeterGuirguis10/Sandbox. As the message above and this indicates you have a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest (COI) and appear to be a paid editor (Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. There are some others Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide and Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with close associations. Basically it boils down to let people know about the COI and don't edit the article directly. Make posts on the talk page.

Hello, I'm HickoryOughtShirt?4. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Craig Huey have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:36, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello PeterGuirguis10. 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:PeterGuirguis10. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=PeterGuirguis10|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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:36, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosed my employer

Hi (@HickoryOughtShirt?4:)

I have now disclosed my employer, client and affiliation on my user page, am I able to edit the information on the Wikipedia page of Craig Huey?

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, PeterGuirguis10. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Craig Huey, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI 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 (you can use 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, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
