Hello BloodBankDirector. 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 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:BloodBankDirector. 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. MrOllie (talk) 12:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Mr. Ollie. Thanks for your message. I’m am not paid nor do I receive compensation for my edits. I returned the page to an earlier version because the most recent edits deleted claims and sources from the leading medical associations and included unsubstantiated and outdated claims. Some of the info was over a decade old. I would suggest rather than reverting wholesale to a prior versions, you might consider reviewing the changes you are considering one by one. Thank you! 197.230.154.202 (talk) 12:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The existing article is well sourced. The 'most recent edits' have largely not been in keeping in WP:MEDRS and have included promotional claims and efforts to promote particular blood banks. You have said that I’m am not paid nor do I receive compensation for my edits., but that is not the standard that is used here. Are you associated in any way with cord blood transfusions or blood banks? MrOllie (talk) 12:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello Mr.Ollie. Here is the quote from MEDRS
 * “Ideal sources for biomedical material include literature reviews or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources (such as reputable medical journals), recognised standard textbooks by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from national or international expert bodies.”
 * The citations and information that you deleted include statements from the latest official medical guidelines, including ACOG, AAP, AMA and others. Others that you added back are unsubstantiated or have claims from over a decade ago and are not from official medical association position statements. Removing such material goes against the stated policy of Wikipedia that you are referencing. If you have a specific and valid issue with a specific passage or citation, I recommend that you take them one at a time and review them individually. I am here to discuss any and all if you’d like. Would you please share what authority you have in arbitrating this and clarify your degree of expertise in this matter? I apologize if I am not understanding your role and authority here as I am new and mainly trying to improve this article. 174.197.66.236 (talk) 16:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Cherry picking sources to leave out the full picture (for example ACOG says the routine use of private cord blood banking is not supported by available evidence is not going to happen.
 * You have not answered my question. MrOllie (talk) 16:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Cord blood bank, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

 * Ok. Good suggestion. I’ll note this in the deletion: This information is in some cases 20 years old and is no longer true. The position statements and claims and policy statements are outdated. If you’d like to argue for keeping this, I’d recommend trying to find a source from this decade. BloodBankDirector (talk) 22:35, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 03:46, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. MrOllie (talk) 22:54, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I’ve updated a policy statement from an old one to the new one with a clear link and source to the policy from the website. It does not misrepresent the medical association. What way does this warrant a threat of this kind. BloodBankDirector (talk) 22:59, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You've been misrepresenting the content of sources in promotional ways and adding promotional mentions of particular companies to Wikipedia articles, in apparent violation of Wikipedia's terms of use (as outlined at WP:PAID. You've got to stop. MrOllie (talk) 23:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
