Mandatory paid editing disclosure

Hello Hollywood454545. 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 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:Hollywood454545. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Hollywood454545|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. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. No I am not being compensated for the edits, at all. Hollywood454545 (talk) 01:50, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Then you need to explain your usage of the terms "we" and "our client". This strongly suggests you have a paid relationship with a potential article subject that you want to write about. That is, if your client is paying you, and you are writing about your client here, then you are considered a paid editor and you must disclose that if you want to continue editing. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

It's a friend who asked me to help him to deal with the issue, that every time he add info about this artists who he's a fan off, a troll comes and deletes it. For years this keeps happening. Even getting malicious messages. So no, perhaps client was the wrong word. Hollywood454545 (talk) 01:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

You must also disclose what other accounts you have created here. A "troll" doesn't have permission to delete. Only administrators do, and we don't delete pages without a valid reason that complies with Wikipedia policies. If you tell me who this artist is, I can look into the deletion records and investigate the reasoning. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Never mind, I see from the Teahouse it's Draft:Victor Turpin. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:06, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes Victor Turpin, but there was a page - Article - created a few years back, way more than 6 months ago, and published, that one is the one that got deleted and the comment on the delation was malicious. I just can't find it. Hollywood454545 (talk) 02:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

To be honest, I dont even know how to create a new one, since that wasn't me who created that one. Hollywood454545 (talk) 02:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

OK, here's what happened. The deletion was not malicious, it was because the article Victor Turpin was a copyright violation, with text copied from IMDB. You can see the deletion log here. Copyright violations are deleted immediately when found.

After it was deleted, a new one was created, and it was immediately moved to Draft:Victor Turpin 2. I can restore that if you like, and rename it to Draft:Victor Turpin for you to submit for review. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

that would be very helpful! thanks so much. Hollywood454545 (talk) 02:14, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

OK, I restored "Draft:Victor Turpin 2" and then moved it to Draft:Victor Turpin, where you can edit it. Be mindful of copyright, don't use text found on IMDB or any other website. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much, someone on the other TALK, mentioned NOTABILITY. I mean, he's known, how do I link the articles and the Dateline announcements, etc? Hollywood454545 (talk) 02:32, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

You do this with citations. See WP:CITE for guidance. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your guidance. I just did some yesterday. Can you see it? a lot of his articles are in national newspapers and publications in Spanish in Colombia. Where you recon I should list those? Hollywood454545 (talk) 16:45, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Also, I clicked PLUBLISH the draft last night, now I can't see it. What is the next step? Hollywood454545 (talk) 16:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, so, it seems that it disappeared again...ugh, spent hours on it. Hollywood454545 (talk) 00:39, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Restored

Your editing blanked the draft! Now restored at Draft:Victor Turpin. Remember to declare PAID on your User page. David notMD (talk) 11:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks David, that was actually not the draft, I spent hours adding content. (and i'm not paid) Hollywood454545 (talk) 16:50, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

how did it blanked it? it was blank when I started, when Anarchronist restored it for me, then I added Biography, links, articles all with their right respective supporting link etc. Ugh this is complicated!!! Hollywood454545 (talk) 17:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

I've undone your edit because the draft is not ready to be reviewed. Please be patient while other users continue to contribute to the draft. Thank you. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:10, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Your history of contributions to Draft:Victor Turpin shows only that you blanked all content on 4 June. Is there some other place, perhaps when not logged in, that you are adding content to? David notMD (talk) 22:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
