Sourcing
Hi. I noticed that you've added content to cult film. The problem is that it's unsourced. This is a meticulously-sourced article that has passed the Good Article quality check. When you add unsourced content, including original research, it puts the article in jeopardy of losing its GA quality badge. That is why I've reverted your additions there. Discussion on the talk page have lead to a consensus that the article is already a bit long and overdetailed. There really isn't enough room to discuss any more individual cult films. This is one of the reasons why we have list of cult films – to be a collection of films that demonstrate what it is to be a cult film, so that the main article can be an overview. I understand wanting to keep expanding the article indefinitely to cover every topic imaginable, but it's supposed to be an overview, not an exhaustive academic treatise. One possibility is to raise the question of whether certain parts of the article should be spun off into their own articles. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:23, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Possible COI
You seem to be promoting the work James O'Brien (filmmaker) on Wikipedia. If you are O'Brien or you have some kind of business/personal relationship with him, you should read Wikipedia's guideline on how to manage a conflict of interest. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:03, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm LittlePuppers. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to QAnon seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Mark L. Hunt
Until there is another person named "Mark L. Hunt" with a Wikipedia article, the film producer article you created should stay at Mark L. Hunt. Please do not move the article back to Mark L. Hunt (producer) again. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:09, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, please read WP:SOURCES so that you are able to determine which sources are valid and which are not. LinkedIn, the producer's website, Vimeo, and anything that is user-generated is not not a valid reference.  The claim to notability is entirely related to his Grammy nom; add a valid cite for that.

Speedy deletion nomination of Alan Tafoya (actor)


A tag has been placed on Alan Tafoya (actor), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Alan Tafoya (actor)
Hello, I'm Ronz. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on  Alan Tafoya (actor), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! --Ronz (talk) 20:00, 13 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I appreciate the contribution. Looking to make the content as accurate as possible. --Jay Odin (talk) 20:17, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You don't seem to understand. Working on BLP content requires strict adherence to Wikipedia's content policies. Since you're an inexperienced editor, I recommend you stop all BLP work and find ways to learn Wikipedia far better, perhaps by working through some tutorials. --Ronz (talk) 22:44, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello Jay Odin. 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:Jay Odin. 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. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ  12:16, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * If you continue to edit and create articles to promote individuals you may be banned. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  12:17, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

I am not being paid, nor do I expect to receive any compensation for the editing I do on Wikipedia. I am familiar with the work of the subjects I have chosen or deemed worthy to create Wikipedia pages for, that is all. I am not interested in going into Articles on world famous personages like Michael Jordan and making minor edits on their page before someone else, but rather looking for people specifically in the arts and entertainment business that may deserve note in Wikipedia based on at least one or more notable film works that do have Wikipedia Articles and in which that person is associated with in a substantial or notable way. Example: the film Tom Dowd & the Language of Music which I have seen and noted had an Article, but the main producer for it did not have one. I did as much research as possible online in all sources to get info on the producer, including on Linkedin and bio related sources like that. The person in question may not be world famous, but if he was, someone else would likely have done the page long before me. I am making a best effort in good faith to do Articles on people I have heard of through interest in the arts. I also have a strong interest in Native American culture. The Native actor I chose, I feel is absolutely worthy of an Article. I scoured the internet for references and found some very interesting material that I felt made him a person of note. It seems like one particular admin has had an issue with this entry from the start. I have made my best efforts on both these pages for them to qualify for no compensation whatsoever. Wikipedia can decide what to do with them. I will take the time to consider whether this work is worth it on my end, ie: having to make such a case for Articles, which is turning out to be more work than creating something new on Wikipedia. --Jay Odin (talk) 17:11, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
