Welcome![edit]

Hello, See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d, 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! Bilby (talk) 07:43, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bilby, I am glad to see your response on my article. Really detailed, timely, informative, and much needed. I am considering redrafting this article while keeping an eye on the raised concerns. I will reach out should I need help. Thank you. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 18:10, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d. As per the request from Bilby, do you have any COIs to disclose? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 11:58, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, MrsSnoozyTurtle. Yes, I do have some COIs that I think should be disclosed. Nevertheless, I believe they did not impede me from writing this article as impartially as it should. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 12:52, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying, please see WP:COIEDIT. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:47, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, MrsSnoozyTurtle and will consider this in my future submissions. Again, thank you for the heads-up. I'm sorry about any inconveniences I may have caused by not disclosing ahead of time. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 04:36, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. In moving forward, just note that you need to fully disclose your employer and the articles that you have been employed to work on. Instructions on how to do that are availabe here. - Bilby (talk) 00:49, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Bibly. I appreciate your input and will be careful to disclose in future. Just to mention that it was my idea, and I always prefer to go with the truth because I believe it is easier to defend the truth, but whoever I consulted was vehemently against, and I thought it was not the best position to take. Nevertheless, I had informed them that it's the best practice and that in one way or the other, I'd disclose. On this, I will be sure to do just what I know policies say rather relying on someone's views. Thank you, again. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 04:47, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024[edit]

Information icon

Hello See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to KETOS, 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged 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:See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d|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. GSS💬 04:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the detailed message. I have always disclosed my COIs. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 05:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would you mind clarifying whether you promote your paid editing services outside of Wikipedia? GSS💬 05:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not offer "paid editing services" and as such, I do not promote the same. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 05:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a disclosure on your User page which is required by Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Please read this section over. Liz Read! Talk! 06:50, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Liz. Thanks for your input. Please check again and advise. It's the first thing on this talk page. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 06:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d, in that case, may I know how you are being hired or paid? Or are you not being paid at all? GSS💬 08:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Hired";"paid"? That's not the best way I'd describe this. I connect with subjects or representatives of subjects when I reach out to them via any available means to solicit for information that may lead to the best encyclopedic coverage of the topic. In any case, my aim is not to be paid but in the process, most people feel the need to even just make a compensation for resources spent. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 08:10, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is incorrect. It is apparant that you have been doing work through Upwork or related sites. What GSS is refering to is any site where you advertise your services, which includes your profile where you would offer your services at sites such as Upwork, Freelancer and Fivver. The details of the policy are at: Disclosing external accounts on Wikipedia. - Bilby (talk) 13:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When it's Bilby, I am not surprised. Bilby has never had anything positive to say about my contributions. Always reverting, and undoing, and tagging, and deleting, and accusing, and the list goes on... See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 02:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you do get work through any of these sites, you need to disclose each and every client on your userpage separately using the {{paid}} template and must not create articles directly in the main namespace. Additionally, in such cases you are required to provide a link to your profile(s) where you advertise paid editing services. GSS💬 14:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's interesting the way you guys discuss and your general modus operandi. Why is it that you try your best to sway the discussion towards your side even when you think it'd be best to consider all possibilities? Why would you say "If you do get work through any...you need to...", well, and what if I do not?
Or make me understand, do you guys just assume bad faith by defailt? See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 02:39, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
GSS, I do not understand why you've chosen to dratify my work while tagging it a violation of WP:PAID. I must mention like I did before that I have always disclosed my COIs. Can you please tell me which clause of WP:PAID I violated given that I had (as required) disclosed my COIs on the article's mainpage, it's talk page, and listed the same in my talk page. I have technically followed all the requirements of the very guidelines you're saying I violated. Please explain to me why this is happening. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk) 10:41, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

  • Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
  • State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
  • Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

Have reviewed the case. Long term promotional editing and refusal to disclose who is paying them and what group they are a part of despite this being clearly explained this is required. Extensive copyright violations on Commons related to that promotion.[1] Despite multiple warnings this has continued.

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).

See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I know why I was blocked. I have read and understood the WMF Terms of Use and I understand that my previous actions were going against the Terms. I will abide by the Terms in my future edits and will be careful to disclose all my COIs if any, including who's paying, on behalf of who. In terms of the Commons violation, I'm sorry I just hadn't understood what to do. I promise to do better. See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d (talk)

Decline reason:

It's difficult to trust you right now, so I'm not sure you will be unblocked to, in the short term, further edit about clients. You also don't say anything about complying with the requirement to disclose your external accounts where you offer your services. 331dot (talk) 09:20, 3 May 2024 (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.

Request reason:

I know why I was blocked (promotion and advertising on Wikipedia). At the time of doing so, I was not aware that I was violating WMF'sTerms of Use. I have familiarized myself with the various Terms and promise not to violate them again. Additionally, I'll be sure to disclose all the necessary disclosures should I have a COI in editing including the client, the employer, and any and all affiliations involved as need be.
