COI Warning
Hello Jk6ge. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Renitta Shannon, 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:Jk6ge. 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. Muhibm0307 (talk) 19:40, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello muhuibm0307. I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for the edits.Jk6ge (talk) 20:22, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * How did you get the image of Shannon that you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, then? —C.Fred (talk) 20:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The image is taken from Shannon's website which is renittashannon(dot)com Jk6ge (talk) 20:30, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not there. It looks like it was scraped from her Instagram. I'll tag it as a copyright violation accordingly. —C.Fred (talk) 21:01, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Then can I just use the image on her website? renittashannon(dot)com(forwardslash)meet-renitta? Or is that also a copyright violation? Or is there a way to attribute it to that website? Thanks for all your help Jk6ge (talk) 21:06, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Short answer: no, the image isn't free. Non-free images are allowed in very limited circumstances, and generally aren't allowed at all while the subject of the article is alive. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Please explain the content of your edits since they are a clear violation of WP:NPOV. Your edits raised several red flags. Muhibm0307 (talk) 22:15, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I made some edits after your initial flagging, deleting sentences that seems subjective (for instance, second sentence goes from "Shannon defeated a four-term incumbent with a clear bold progressive platform" to "Shannon defeated a four-term incumbent." Added citation where requested. I can see that I would be able to make some more edits to make it more neutral. Good exercise for my English class lol. Nonetheless, instead of staying "your edits raised several red flags" it would be good to know where and what kind of red flags. I really started this for fun after reading about Shannon and want to do it right and thanks for your input but some more specificity would help. Jk6ge (talk) 23:04, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Good luck in your English classes, then :) Muhibm0307 (talk) 00:19, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, please explain the fact that your only edits ever are the clearly biased edits to the page in question, made within hours of your account creation. Muhibm0307 (talk) 22:17, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Again, not following the guidelines were clearly my fault (no nefarious intentions) and am trying to fix it more neutral as stated above to be compliant. So I appreciate your oversight. However the "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments" is clearly false. I just enjoyed learning about Shannon and wanted the Wikipedia page to reflect that. Jk6ge (talk) 23:04, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you for your clarification. You’re probably off the hook, then, but there’s an IP user from the same state house district that also made suspicious edits that was also listed in the WP:COIN. The offending material has been removed, so the label will probably be removed. Muhibm0307 (talk) 00:13, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
