You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Sockpuppet investigations/Boyjords2020. Thank you.

Sorry the above is definitely not a fact. I have only logged into Wikipedia from one computer and by no means affiliated with any other wikipedia users. This is a personal attack because another wikipedia editor finds it coincidental that two people commented on a similar subject. Perplexing to say the least.

Conflict of interest
As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Amano225, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia.  Velella  Velella Talk 20:10, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Impressions are not facts, they are simply (in this case) your perception. I am not being paid to edit (not editing anything at all regarding the subject you are discussing) so how can I be possibly told to cease editing? I am totally confused. Please read the TOU of Wikipedia. I personally can respond on the talk page of an a deletion page that has to do with my brand. I have not paid anyone nor am I providing biased opinions. If you see, I have only responded with facts. It is also mandatory that you look at a page and all of its sources thoroughly before you nominate for speedy deletion, which failed.

Hello Amano225. 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 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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:Amano225. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. 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. ''Please update your user page to indicate your conflict of interest. Since you own the company and are editing material related to the company (yes, even at Afd) you are considered to be a paid editor.'' --- Possibly (talk) 23:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I have acknowledged and well aware of these policies. I have not violated one at all. I am not being compensated, nor have I dont any edits at all, nor am I affiliated with the author that created the Stub. There is no case here, and would be impossible to prove that I have violated any terms, as all my remarks have been in good faith.
 * You have not declared your paid status as required on your user page. You are a company owner, which I assume you do for money, ergo you are a paid editor: "Users who are compensated for any publicity efforts related to the subject of their Wikipedia contributions are deemed to be paid editors, regardless of whether they were compensated specifically to edit Wikipedia." Paid editing " includes adding or removing content from any page, including articles and talk pages.'. It's up to you. I imagine you will be blocked in the next 2-3 hours if you do not follow the PAID disclosure guidelines, stop bludgeoning discussions and stop using Wikipedia for promotion. Your choice. I'll leave the standard level 3 warning next. --- Possibly (talk) 00:29, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. --- Possibly (talk) 00:29, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok so it you take a look at all of this:

Employer: the person or organization that pays, either directly or through intermediaries, a user to contribute to Wikipedia. This includes cases where the employer has hired the user as an employee, has engaged the user under a freelance contract, is compensating the user without a contract, or is compensating the user through the user's employment by another organization.

Client: the person or organization on whose behalf the edits are made; the client is often the subject of the article.

Affiliation: other connections that might be relevant, including, but not limited to, people or businesses who provide text, images, or other media for the paid edit. If a paid editor is working as a contractor, "affiliation" would include any broker involved in the transaction (e.g. Fiverr, Upwork, etc). Contribution: any text or file added to, or deleted from, Wikipedia, including talk-page and sandbox contributions, and material added to or deleted from articles by others at the behest of paid editors.

Payment or compensation: includes, but is not limited to, money, goods or services. Users who are compensated for any publicity efforts related to the subject of their Wikipedia contributions are deemed to be paid editors, regardless of whether they were compensated specifically to edit Wikipedia.

You will noticed that none of the above I meet. I have not even contributed to the page, nor have I paid anyone, nor to my knowledge am I getting paid or losing money if there is a Wikipedia page created or not about the brand. But, would you like me to share the page where it says a brand owner can participate in a deletion page as long as they do not make edits to the page?

"Anyone acting in good faith can contribute to the discussion. The author of the article can make their case like everyone else. As discussed above, relevant facts and evidence are welcome from anyone but the opinions of anonymous and/or suspiciously new users may be discounted by the closing admin. Please bear in mind that administrators will discount any obviously bad faith contributions to the discussion when closing the discussion. On the other hand, a user who makes a well-argued, fact-based case based upon Wikipedia policy and does so in a civil manner may well sway the discussion despite being anonymous." This fits my description. I am "anyone" and "acting in good faith" This is the only page I have contributed to. Amano225 (talk)
 * Well, don't say you weren't warned.--- Possibly (talk) 01:42, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

@ Possibly I appreciate it my friend. Honestly I do, but I cannot be accused of something that I did not do. Thanks so much! Amano225 (talk)
