September 2017
Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Kirt Jacobs. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Kenny.marcum. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Kirt Jacobs, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 16:37, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Paid promotional editing must be disclosed.
Hello. I see you are actively expanding Kirt Jacobs and making other edits related to MoxieTalk. I see also that the marketing company 301 Interactive Marketing, which has an employee named Kenny Marcum, lists MovieTalk under its portfolio. Therefore it is reasonable to assume you are here to engage in promotion or advertising, not the creation of neutral encyclopedia articles. Per the policy of Paid-contribution disclosure, you must disclose your relationship to any edits for which you expect to be paid. Please refer to the links and guidelines in the above message regarding conflicts of interest. Further undisclosed paid editing, and/or promotion, may result in a block or ban from editing. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's guidelines and core content policies: the Welcome message at the top of your Talk page is a good place to start. Cheers, --Animalparty!

Addressing Conflict of Interest
Hello. I have been actively adding and expanding Kirt Jacobs bio page. I did build a website for MoxieTalk but I am not being paid to create a Wikipedia page for Kirt. I know Kirt and thought he would be someone of interest to add to Wikipedia. I did not intend to engage in promotion or advertising. I will cease adding more information about Kirt and have disclosed my relationship to him. Thanks, Kenny.marcum (talk) 19:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
