Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button Signature icon april 2018.png located above the edit window.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:46, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Bambino4. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:01, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Winnipeg Table Hockey League (WTHL), without resolving the problem that the template refers to. Also, since you clearly do fall under the provisions of Wikipedia's "conflict of interest" guidelines, you should certainly not be the one to remove the conflict of interest tag. I also see that you have continued to edit the article where you clearly have a personal involvement without following the conflict of interest guideline, despite having been alerted to it. Please do read that guideline, if you haven't already done so, and make sure that yo edit in conformity with it. Continuing to edit contrary to Wikipedia policies and guidelines after being informed of them can lead to being blocked from editing by an administrator.

Proposed deletion of Winnipeg Table Hockey League (WTHL)


The article Winnipeg Table Hockey League (WTHL) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "I believe this page doesn't meet notability guidelines WP:NSPORTS, WP:CLUB or WP:GNG. Appears to be about a non-notable league for a small sport, coverage is pretty much local news or organisations own website."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello Bambino4. 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 Winnipeg Table Hockey League, and that 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:Bambino4. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. John from Idegon (talk) 03:34, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Response to Paid Advocates
Hello John from Idegon simply put you are mistaken in your assumption that I am a Paid advocate or receiving any compensation at all for providing edits on Wikipedia. Just another simple user of Wikipedia. Have a good day:) Bambino4 (talk) 22:59, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
