Hello, I'm Orville1974. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Draft:IOTA (technology) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks.  Orville1974  (talk) 04:42, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello Kutkraft. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:IOTA (technology), 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:Kutkraft. 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. David Gerard (talk) 06:49, 18 October 2019 (UTC)


 * REPLY: Hi - you're incorrect. I have no affiliation, membership, or partnership with the IOTA Foundation. I haven't been paid, nor will I be paid by them (or anyone else) for contributing to the IOTA Wikipedia article. If I am mistaken – you are directly or indirectly (and publicy) accusing me of being a paid shill without evidence – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the evidence that will stop me from escalating this any further. Kutkraft (talk) 08:22, 18 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Literally every edit you've made has been on this single topic - this is an evident WP:SPA. But do feel free to escalate, in whatever sense you mean. Do you edit using other accounts? If so, beware of creating an apparent false consensus - David Gerard (talk) 10:47, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
