Hello Astridhansley. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Made Gold, 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:Astridhansley. 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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:36, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for advertising and paid editing without proper disclosure (Special:Diff/1063930315). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * There are two options at this point: Abandoning the advertising project and stopping to make any edits to which WP:PAID applies, or continuing to make paid edits after the block with proper disclosure and risking an indefinite block if the editing is promotional again. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:39, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Sources at Draft_talk:Made_Gold
Hi, I've left some possible sources at the above page. I see that you have been blocked, perhaps you can take a look in two weeks or earlier, if you choose to appeal and are successful (not that unlikely given that your failure to properly disclose was likely based in ignorance rather than malice per your comments on my and CSC's talk page). 15 (talk) 17:50, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Made Gold
Hello, Astridhansley. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Made Gold, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:07, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Made Gold


Hello, Astridhansley. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Made Gold".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:11, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
