Hello KazakDexter. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Walkabout Travel Gear, 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:KazakDexter. 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:26, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

I have no financial stake in promoting the topic. Also, If you check walkabouttravelgear.com you'll find the company is closed. KazakDexter (talk) 18:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

For you
Thank you. It certainly seems that way. KazakDexter (talk) 23:30, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Do you have any personal connection to the company? WP:COI would apply. David notMD (talk) 20:00, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

I did live in Moab, Utah where the company operated until they moved. I did know the owners informally, it is a very small town. I guess that counts?

Did you send me five messages? If so, why? KazakDexter (talk) 00:24, 12 August 2021 (UTC)


 * In my opinion it does not count as WP:COI. Knowing someone from that company is not COI, especially in small towns where everyone knows everyone. You didn't get any benefits at all, directly or indirectly, so I don't think it is COI. SunDawn  talk  01:29, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, there are several Moab subjects that deserve a page but I also know involved parties. I have a question, there is a on the top of the page yet a variety of reliable secondary sources are listed in the page, and if you click "books" something like ten pages show up.

Moab, Utah movies
"According to the source cited, none of these were filmed in Moab; perhaps they can be added to the county article." Magnolia677

By that definition, none of the movies listed were filmed with Moab City limits and should be removed. Why just remove my edits? KazakDexter (talk) 16:38, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dead Horse Point State Park, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Carter. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
