Paid editing
Hello DrumSalad. 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 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:DrumSalad. 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. GSS (talk |c|em ) 06:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello GSS! I am not making money from this at all! If I do anything for monetary gain, I'll be sure to keep this in mind though. Thanks for reaching out, and please let me know if you have any questions. Also, I'm about to publish a new page on Luxion Keyshot, a software that I've used and would like to see posted. I am not making money off this page, but am now worried that I'm going to be accused of it because it has something to do with a company. Is there any way I can verify that I'm doing this on my own leisure? Thanks again! DrumSalad (talk) 01:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Can you please explain what made you nominate Johnny Joo‎ for deletion? I have moved your article KeyShot to draftsapce as it's not yet ready to be included in the mainspace so please follow the AfC process once your draft is ready. GSS (talk |c|em ) 05:24, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply, GSS ! I actually overheard him talking about the fact that he had a Wikipedia page in a Starbucks and wanted to take a look at it because he was boasting about it so much. I was honestly disappointed. It didn't appear to be notable at all and it read like an autobiography of his life story (with very little evidence of notability to warrant a page in that amount of detail), which I don't believe belongs in an encyclopedia. I don't know if this counts as being a conflict of interest, but if it is, please let me know how I can make that known on my profile or the deletion page. Now that I think back on it, I kind of feel scummy for nominating it when I obviously had some sort of on-site interaction with him. Also, I'll definitely submit my article for review through AfC so that I can get a community consensus. Again, thank you for reaching out and asking me these questions. If there is anything more that you need from me, please let me know! DrumSalad (talk) 01:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: I posted that Freelancer.com job listing that Yenshui (I think thats his name) was talking about, but did NOT hire anyone. You let me know that paid editing was not acceptable on Wikipedia a few days ago, and I took it down. In hindsight, this was yet another scummy think I never should have considered. I'm new to this, so I'm very sorry! Will update my deletion page DrumSalad (talk) 01:56, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * By "Yenshui (I think thats his name)" I think you might have meant WP:ADMIN Yunshui. Where was that discussion? Pete AU aka Shirt58 (talk) 09:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Sadly that one's already on the list... Yunshui 雲 水 09:15, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not do on Samir Ghising (VTEN). Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Please don't add any tag or edit any thing on article like you did on Samir Ghising (VTEN). It was on editing and i had tagged there. Assume the good faith with other editors.''  AD  Talk 15:18, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * My apologies User:Azkord. I added an orphan tag as a notification to the editor, and I don't believe that classifying it as an orphan does any harm. The page is also only being edited by one user, so it seems a bit obstructive to put the tag there and prevent patrollers from tagging it when its hard to get edit conflicts in the first place.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Kellie Loder, 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 the sandbox for that. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:50, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

I made an edit that I have the right to make. You have been preventing any constructive edits from being made by reverting almost every single one of them. The intro section is way too long, and there are numerous issues. I left a valid reason in the edit summary as well. Further attempts to revert my constructive edits to the page will result in my reaching out to administrators for review. Thank you. DrumSalad (talk) 18:47, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
