User talk:Casa del mundo

Hello Casa del mundo. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Tim Cooper (academic), 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:Casa del mundo. 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. signed,Rosguill talk 19:32, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Rosguill. Thanks for your comments. Good to know. I do not have an undisclosed financial stake in this page. Casa del mundo (talk) 10:29, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you have any other connection to Tim Cooper outside of Wikipedia? signed,Rosguill talk 16:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

I am an employee at the same university, but as mentioned do not have an undisclosed financial stake in the page. Thanks. Casa del mundo (talk) 08:12, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If you are employed by the same university but don't have a direct financial stake, you likely still have a conflict of interest on the basis of your shared affiliation and status as colleagues. Please read through WP:COI, our relevant guideline, and then follow the instructions a Appealing a block to request to be unblocked. signed,Rosguill talk 17:43, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
