Hello Ann Elnar. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Peddlr Philippines Inc., 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:Ann Elnar. 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:10, 13 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello DoubleGrazing. This is to inform you that I am not compensated for my edits. Ann Elnar (talk) 09:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So what is your relationship with Peddlr? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:57, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * ⁠Hi DoubleGrazing. I am actually just a student from Samar and I have been wanting to practice my writing skills by writing about people/events/entities that came from the same hometown as I do, Samar. Peddlr is, I think, the only rising startup here in the Philippines that came from our province. I am proud about the milestones and the humanitarian effort of Peddlr so I decided to try initiating the creation of an article for them. Ann Elnar (talk) 03:18, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sure. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:58, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello, I am writing to inquire if my article will still go under review? Ann Elnar (talk) 07:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No: the draft has been deleted, and your account has been blocked. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to request Wikipedia to initiate the creation of the page for Peddlr Philippines Inc.? Ann Elnar (talk) 09:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * In short, no. You can (or rather could, if you weren't blocked) suggest this either through the Requested articles mechanism, or by posting such a request eg. on the WikiProject Philippines talk page, but whether anyone would actually do that is another matter – most people tend to edit on topics which are of interest to themselves, and if someone had an interest in this topic they probably would have already done something about it.
 * Speaking of which, I know you said you have no external relationship with this subject, but I'm finding that increasingly difficult to believe, given your continued eagerness to have such an article created. Would you like to take this opportunity to revise your earlier answer regarding your relationship with Peddlr? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright, this is noted.
 * On your question about my relationship with the company, actually I'm a student intern from the company and this is one of the projects I promised my manager before I complete my internship. Would you recommend I edit my profile, or is it totally impossible anymore? Thanks! Ann Elnar (talk) 02:36, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Interns come under our paid-editing policy, see WP:PAID. If you wish to appeal your block, you need to state that you will disclose your status formally if and when you are unblocked. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:19, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes I would like to appeal, and am willing to disclose my relationship with the company. Ann Elnar (talk) 08:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You've actually been blocked for block evasion, which probably means you need to appeal from your original account, but I don't know the details. I'm pinging, the admin who blocked you, who may be able to help. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Comment
Thanks,. The original block was for spamming and username violation by account. Ann Elnar posted similar but extended text a few weeks later, obviously a sock puppet of the original account.

Ann Elnar, the original account will stay blocked since it's a username violation, but it could be adjusted to remove the block on account creation.

You need to go to that page and follow the instructions there. You will not be unblocked if you intend to write about Peddlr again, so if that's your objective, you are wasting your time Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
