User talk:LiveStreamingExpert

September 2019
Hello Meridix. 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:Meridix. 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. - Frood (talk!) 03:29, 5 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I am an employee of Meridix, but am not being compensated directly or indirectly specifically to make the edits. We are objectively trying to update publicly available information regarding the company and its existence in the live streaming industry.  We are not attempting to promote certain interests or an agenda. - Meridix (talk) 03:45, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello Meridix, please carefully read and follow WP:COI before making any further edits. Even if you are not being paid for this specific task, as a company employee you have a strong conflict of interest and should not edit related mainspace articles (you are welcome to prepare a draft in draftspace though or to make suggestions on article talk to improve outdated information). Aside from the COI aspect, your edits also changed the focus of an existing valid topic and added promotional product information that does not belong in an encyclopedia (for example detailed price and feature information). If you have any questions about the COI guideline or Wikipedia-editing in general, please feel free to ask at WP:Teahouse, a forum for new editors. Best regards.

 * Trying to think critically about your comment that updating the Meridix entry "changed the focus of an existing valid topic", we assume you might mean that the old entry referred to a conglomerate and the edited entry referred to a narrowed platform - this is accurate. The company shed many lines of business and essentially the live streaming platform and the company are now one and the same.  Is that type of update not allowable?  Regarding "promotional product information that does not belong in an encyclopedia", we believed our entry was appropriate because it simply followed the template of other live streaming companies, such as Vimeo.  What is it about Vimeo's (obviously allowed) entry that differs from our attempt?  We are asking questions to simply understand the rules better, appreciate your clarifications.  Thank you.

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

 * Thank you, appreciate your consideration of the matter. I have posted the required WP:PAID statement to the user page.  I will now suggest company information updates via your directions above: "you are welcome to prepare a draft in draftspace though or to make suggestions on article talk to improve outdated information".  Subsequently I will make additions/suggestions to relevant streaming articles. LiveStreamingExpert (talk) 15:00, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey
Since the M* article is at AfD already, you might as well just paste your new version over the old version (do not delete the AfD notice), and then ask the other participants in the AfD discussion whether they agree that you have resolved the issue.

(I haven't read either version of the article, so I have no opinion as to whether you've succeeded.) DS (talk) 21:56, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
