Hello, I'm PhilKnight. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. PhilKnight (talk) 16:06, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:41, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Mondknight. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:Mondknight. 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. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:41, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with little if any interest in content added by the subjects of articles or their hirelings. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:43, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:44, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You also need to write in your own words while summarizing information from reliable sources, not copy text verbatim from other websites. DanCherek (talk) 20:51, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
