Hello AuventPR. 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:AuventPR. 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. Peacock (talk) 11:35, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Answer to Pcock
Hello Pcock

Thanks for the message. You are correct in that I am being paid and I wanted to declare it as per the wiki rules - but this is the most confusing CMS system/set of rules I have ever come across. If I knew where to post the information I would. So, even after reading your message, while I know what I need to do, where it goes, how it is done is not that simple for a new user. Even when you out links, it takes you away from the page you are on, rather than opening in a new window.

Assistance is welcome to get this sorted out - in an efficient and easy manner. AuventPR (talk) 12:25, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * When reading this message, you should see a tab "User page". Click on that tab.  In the box that opens place this text "  " (replacing with your relevant information), then click the button that says "Publish page".  I hope this helps.  Peacock (talk) 12:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I believe I have achieved this! Thanks for your assistance. I have also added a summary, so hopefully this information assists future posts too. AuventPR (talk) 12:36, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I notice the page has been flagged - hopefully, now that I have acknowledged the payment, this will be removed as I am in no way looking to violate any terms. AuventPR (talk) 12:38, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It is the photo that was flagged, for a copyright violation. I have removed that flag as someone mistakenly assumed it came from the Daily Mail, but instead it is the Daily Mail that got the photo from the same source as yourself. The photo says "Source: Own work" but it would appear your are not the source but "The Homeless Foundation / SWNS". You could correct that. -Lopifalko (talk) 13:00, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The photo was sent to me via a dropbox from Kieran O'Donell, director of iKozie. Hence 'own work' and no copyright infringement. I am not aware of any other source to attribute it too - and SWNS may well have the image from Kieran as well - and ensured they were credited when distributing the original release. This went worldwide, so the images, are likely to be used frequently. AuventPR (talk) 13:08, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It is not your own work then, but that of Kieran O'Donell. You need to demonstrate that it has been made available to Wikipedia under a free license. -Lopifalko (talk) 13:20, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * How is this done?

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you.  Dloh Cier  ekim  13:22, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't know who you are but this matter has been dealt with. This constant barrage is unacceptable. AuventPR (talk) 13:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)


 * You still need to change your username. .  Dloh Cier   ekim  13:54, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't get what is wrong with the username?
