 * Hi Bringbag, to elaborate on my above message, your edits look like promoting the Cleveland Review of Books. Please don't use Wikipedia to promote a blog, particularly if you have a conflict of interest with the site. Best, Politanvm  talk 00:54, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Bringbag. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Kristen Stewart, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. KyleJoan talk 04:31, 9 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi! I do not have a COI with what I wrote about on Kristen Stewart's page. Why did you flag my work on Wiki as such? Bringbag (talk) 04:36, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

ANI notice
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. KyleJoan talk 04:45, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Bringbag. I see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=1076099682#Multiple_conflicts_of_interest? at WP:ANI] that the editor above,, has noted further activities by you which appear to promote Brianna Di Monda, namely here:. You have denied having a conflict of interest in relation to your Kristen Stewart edit. That might be plausible on its own; but it beggars belief that all your other references to work by Brianna Di Monda in different contexts are one huge coincidence. Do you have anything to say about that? If not, you may expect to be blocked for undeclared conflict of interest and likely undeclared violations of WP:PAID. Wikipedia is not for advertising. Please respond either below or on WP:ANI. Bishonen &#124; tålk 11:01, 9 March 2022 (UTC).
 * PS. You were warned about promoting the Cleveland Review of Books in December, and then had the whole COI thing explained to you with lots of links to our policies and guidelines, so I guess you're well aware of Wikipedia's rules in the matter. Checking out the Cleveland Review of Books now, from interest, I see Brianna Di Monda is a "contributing editor" to it. Do you have any comment on that huge coincidence? Bishonen &#124; tålk 14:43, 9 March 2022 (UTC).
 * After I discovered that your promotion of the Cleveland Review of Books is also linked to promoting Brianna Di Monda, there seems little point in waiting for you to explain, because I don't see how your abuse of a volunteer project can be credibly explained. You have been blocked indefinitely. 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: .
