Hello Dcovert999. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Donald Covert, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Also, please pick one account and stick with it. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:24, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Dcovert999, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:02, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to West Palm Beach, Florida appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Response to e-mail
In response to your e-mail, please understand that Wikipedia has strict standards for the creation of articles, particularly about living persons, per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. The subjects of articles must be notable, as defined by Wikipedia guidelines. The subjects of biographies must meet the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (people). The information in Wikipedia articles must be verifiable from independent reliable sources. If you are Donald Covert, or if you are related to or associated with Donald Covert, then you have a conflict of interest, and are strongly discouraged from contributing to any article about Donald Covert, or to any material about him in another article. I notice that an article about Donald Covert previously created in Wikipedia was deleted after a discussion at Articles for Deletion. If Donald Covert is notable enough to meet the criteria for creation of a Wikipedia article about him, then you should wait for an editor who does not have a conflict of interest to create the article. - Donald Albury 01:34, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
