Regarding the addition of a lot of promotional and unsourced content to multiple articles, and especially re: a connection to Center for Community Land Trust Innovation:

Hello, Gregorylaird. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 WP: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. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:37, 18 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, Gregorylaird, all that, and this: PLEASE stop writing this kind of promotional material without even providing ANY kind of independent secondary sourcing. In fact, I am going to put up a warning template here, and block you if you keep doing this. It means a ton of work for the volunteers who do wish to maintain neutrality in Wikipedia articles.

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Drmies (talk) 16:05, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. Drmies (talk) 16:05, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
