Hello Liamcorbin. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to List of most expensive paintings, 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 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 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:Liamcorbin. 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. Sam Kuru (talk) 14:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I do not serve as a paid employee for the artist Cristo Xvion. Instead, I am an advocate for his artworks and a writer. His predictive painting, having been sold for a sum exceeding $600 million, has garnered coverage on more than 400 accredited news platforms. I undertook the necessary corrections to ensure the dissemination of accurate information to the public audience. ArtAsk.com, a leading auction record-keeping website, is presently in the process of updating the sale record for "Lily Bomb." Notably, Cristo Xvion stands as the sole individual globally to have accomplished over 400 prediction paintings, all of which have materialized, rendering him a significant figure warranting public attention.

 * That's really exciting. We work from WP:RS here, not paid placement, not fake blogs, not SEO fronts. We also adhere to a WP:NPOV - advertorial content/unsourced claims will be removed. I would suggest another outlet for your advocacy that is less stringent. Sam Kuru (talk) 15:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your feedback. I perfectly understand. I certainly will adhere to Wikipedia content guidelines. Liamcorbin (talk) 16:16, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Every source you used is a known fake SEO blog. You've also included a junk Wix site that was created a few days ago. Frankly, this looks more like fraud than just spamming, but either way I've disabled this account. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

As it has become apparent that your account will be used solely for unconstructive editing, you have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest it by adding the text to this page. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
