Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bia Mustafa Alloush has been reverted. Your edit here to Bia Mustafa Alloush was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/biaworld_) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 12:05, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello Bilalrahal. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, 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:Bilalrahal. 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. GSS (talk |c|em ) 08:02, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Bia Mustafa Alloush, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. GSS (talk |c|em ) 10:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for undeclared paid editing in violation of the Terms of Use. 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:. Huon (talk) 22:23, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Should the block be contested without full disclosure, I'll gladly provide any reviewing administrator with evidence of the paid editing in private (in order to not run afoul of WP:OUTING). I wouldn't have blocked if the editor weren't deliberately misrepresenting their status. They did the same to me on IRC. Huon (talk) 22:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Apparently I was a little too slow in my efforts to archive the off-wiki evidence; much (but not all) has been scrubbed. Suffice it to say that this person likely is the "Media Coordinator" of Bia Mustafa Alloush. Huon (talk) 23:23, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

If you claim that I'm Media coordinator of Bia Mustafa Alloush please proof it by presenting a credible proof from a credible source like contacting the artist or their management or whomever represent them.

I have, entirely independently of, confirmed the undeclared conflict of interest here. --Yamla (talk) 00:55, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
