Paid editing disclosure
Hi MaryGaulke,

Whilst you seem to have made a good-will attempt to disclose your conflicts of interest on your user talkpage, the disclosures you have made are not sufficient under Wikipedia's paid editing policy. Specifically, for each and every article where you have received or expect to receive payment, directly or indirectly, for your edits, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation - who paid you, who requested the edits, and who brokered the transaction. It would also be helpful for users reviewing your edits if you added internal links to the affected articles as a courtesy. Wikilinks are not required by Wikipedia's policies, but correct disclosure is mandatory. Yunshui 雲 水 09:10, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your message! To clarify, would you like me to break out on my user page which COIs are for clients with me personally vs. which are with my employer? I do also specify this in the template I place on each affected talk page. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 18:47, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I found my way here from Calvin Cheng; you hadn't posted a talkpage template there so I'd assumed you weren't doing that, but I see you have used them elsewhere. The disclosure you made at Talk:Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City is a good example of how to go about making a talkpage disclosure correctly, and that's generally considered to be adequate disclosure, as long as you remember to do it... Thank you for adding the wikilinks to your userpage, that's a big improvement. Whilst you're not obligated to separate out your list of articles, you do still need to disclose who is paying you (whether it is your agency or the article subject directly); a segregated list would be a fairly easy way to do that, or you can continue to do so on article talkpages if that is your preference. You only need to list those articles which you have actually edited (or requested edits for), however. Yunshui 雲 水 08:47, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I seem to have just forgotten the template on Calvin Cheng's talk page, but I assure you that's my standard procedure. I've added it now. I generally add a client to my user page when I begin drafting content for them, even if it's just in my sandbox. Not all clients make it past that stage, which is why there's an occasional discrepancy. Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:07, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

 * I will openly admit I am not fond of paid editors. However, I respect the fact that you have made the proper disclosures of your COI and are willing to work within the community openly. With that in mind, hopefully I can give you a few bits of advice on this draft (which I normally wouldn't do for a paid editor). Looking at it closely, it has a lot of information about the company, including intricate details that only the person himself would care about. Think from the standpoint of what a regular person coming to Wikipedia would want to see. Once you see it from that light, you will understand what needs to be removed as far as promo. Also, since it contains a lot of information about the company, have you considered the notability of the company versus the notability of the person? If the notability lies within the company, then it may be better to focus on a page for that instead of the founder. Again, just a thought, not an endorsement. Happy editing. --CNMall41 (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking the time to share such specific feedback – I really appreciate it. I've just revised the draft to take out a lot of the information on the company and resubmitted. I do believe Rastegar meets WP:NBIO, although I see your point about the company, too. Anyway, happy to hear any additional feedback you'd like to share, and thanks again for your time.

Hi, MaryGaulke. I happened across your username and remembered you from several years ago. After reading the notes about the draft on Ari Rastegar being declined, I took a look at it, then spent some time searching for more sources. I didn't find them. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be difficult to prove that he's notable in the Wikipedia sense. You might have better luck with coverage of his company, although given the articles that showed up in the search for more information on Rastegar, depth of coverage may be a problem. I know Wikipedia's rules and guidelines can be demanding, and I appreciate your working within them. I wish all paid editors would do the same. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 14:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * , thanks for your review. Thanks for taking the time to do some research and share your input! I'm honestly surprised that Rastegar might not meet WP:GNG. I think several of the citations in the article (e.g. Commercial Observer, D Magazine, GQ, CBS DFW, Austin Monthly) qualify as significant coverage and reliable sources – am I off base here? Want to make sure I'm understanding for my future work as well. Many thanks. Mary Gaulke (talk) 01:03, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi both! I promise this is the last ping, but just double checking if either of you have input in response to what I wrote above. No worries if not; just trying to make sure I'm understanding how the guidelines apply here. Thank you again. Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:13, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Article is looking better now than when I reviewed it and certainly worth submitting again. Gusfriend (talk) 10:13, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Many thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 13:41, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, MaryGaulke. I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you; my schedule's been a bit mad lately. I see the article's been moved to mainspace, so it looks like all's well. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 05:45, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries! Thanks for the reply. Mary Gaulke (talk) 02:58, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Rather than misuse WP:COIN for your business interests, try offering a reward at WP:RB. Volunteer editors have to see a reason to edit or they won't.<span id="Chris_troutman:1667423945243:User_talkFTTCLNMaryGaulke" class="FTTCmt"> — Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 21:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the advice; I'm surprised I've never heard of this forum before. If you happen to know and are willing to advise – I can't find any RB-specific COI guidance. (Closest recent discussion I could find was an unanswered question on talk.) I assume monetary rewards would be inappropriate but reciprocal editing (of non-COI articles) would be OK? I am always eager to show my gratitude to volunteers who help my work, but it's a tricky needle to thread without introducing additional bias into the review process. Sincerely appreciate any insight you're willing to share. Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * So long as you state in your post that you have a CoI, I think you're fine. The awardee would have a CoI themselves if they complete your task for reward so you might point that out. I see no reason why you cannot offer a monetary reward, although many might edit just for a barnstar. Again, the only problem Wikipedia as a community has is ensuring transparency. Only some editors hate CoI editors out of jealousy. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 21:54, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised by that, honestly – if an editor has a COI from a reward, I would think that they would be discouraged from editing directly the same way that I am, regardless of disclosure. I'm not sure I understand the difference, but I'll keep looking into it to make sure I'm not running afoul of any guidelines. Thanks again for your time. Mary Gaulke (talk) 22:05, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * If add that entry up at the coin noticeboard again, which is entirely the venue, I will start issuing warnings against for disruptive editing.   scope_creep Talk  15:49, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I assure you I do not intend to repost. I had many years ago been advised to use COIN as a rare measure in that fashion, and had done so a few times in years past without any negative feedback, but I understand now that the norms for the board have changed. Mary Gaulke (talk) 15:53, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You should note that it was not Mary who reposted the request at COIN, but another editor in an apparent attempt to solicit more help for Mary (either before you posted your message here regarding WP:RB, or having not noticed that you had).  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:08, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I just reverted your removal, which I think was wrong-headed, as is the suggestion to use WP:RB. Whatever your incoherent "If add that entry up at the coin noticeboard again, which is entirely the venue,..." is supposed to mean, I'm pretty sure I disagree. Johnbod (talk) 18:35, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ignore that message please. I just assumed too quickly. Sorry   scope_creep Talk  16:23, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that context — I hadn’t even seen it had been reposted. No worries. Mary Gaulke (talk) 16:31, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
