Hello Staciwilliams126. 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 Draft:Out of Bounds (2019 film), 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:Staciwilliams126. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Staciwilliams126|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. John from Idegon (talk) 17:09, 8 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

The explanation you left at my talk page is not sufficient. Please explain how you were able to secure a copyright release on the material you claim to have done so on. Clearly, you have some sort of relationship with the subject you are writing about. Please explain that, along with confirming or denying the following:
  • Are you employed by or contracted to any company or individual associated in any way with the production of this film? That would include the studio, any production company or any individual actor, director or any other person or entity associated with this film.
  • Are you employed by or contracted to any company employed by or contracted to any individual or entity as described above?
Please understand that being able to secure releases on copyrighted material is not part of the normal process for creating material here.
Also please understand that not every subject gets an article here. If obtaining a copyright release is needed to complete your assignment, you likely do not have an article in the first place. John from Idegon (talk) 17:56, 8 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to User talk:John from Idegon while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 17:43, 8 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
