User talk:Popgruev

March 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Harry Markowitz has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): (?<![^\s:])[^\s\]\[\{\}\\\|^\/`<>@:]+@\w+(?!\.htm)(?:\.\w+){1,3} (links: harryhmm@aol.com). It appears that you inserted an e-mail address to Harry Markowitz. Wikipedia pages should not contain personal information. For more information, please read Wikipedia:Biography of Living People, specifically the section about personal information.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Stop posting whole news articles
Your addition to The Drever has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

Stop editing the article on the Drever
Hello, Popgruev. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

You need to disclose your employment on your user page
Hello Popgruev. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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:Popgruev. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:00, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

To be clear, this is your last chance
I figured out your relationship to the Drever.

After having blocked the PR firm you hired and the sockpuppet account they created, I don't know why I don't block you now and lock the article so new accounts and anonymous users can't edit it. We do not welcome people who dishonestly use multiple accounts to try to get around our community standards, nor do we welcome those who want to use this site as their own personal advertising space.

It's only because you're employed directly by the Drever instead Culver PR (and I'm guessing maybe they haven't filled you in on how they and now you are violating our terms of use) that I've not blocked your account.

If you take any other action besides disclosing your employment on your user page, I will block you for violating our terms of use regarding paid editing. If you try to argue that you're "not really" engaged in paid editing or that the edits are "just creating awareness" or something that's "not" advertising, I'm going to block you for not being here to build an encyclopedia. If you make any more direct edits to the article instead of making edit requests on the article's talk page, I will block you for promotional editing. If I see other accounts making similar edits to the article, I'm just going to stop distinguishing between your account and the PR accounts, block anyone trying to make similar edits, and lock the article so new users can't edit it.

If it gets to that last point, I'm going to make time to comb through the article and remove any source that isn't of the highest quality, and see what remains.

Blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. 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:. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:07, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The exact steps you needed to take were explained above. If I see any more new accounts continuing the same edits, I'm going to lock the page.
 * Let your boss know that anyone who works for or with the Drever, its owners, or their other properties, or anything hired by those individuals are not allowed to edit the page per our terms of use and this community's standards.
 * It is not the Drever's page. It is our page about the Drever.  Edit requests can be made on the article's talk page -- by someone other than you or the employees of Culver PR.
 * To appeal your block, you're going to need to promise to never edit the Drever page again. Trying to blame me or argue about the merit of your edits or otherwise missing the point that as an employee of the Drever you were not supposed to edit the article at all will only result in the unblock request being denied.
