Hello Raininassistant. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Ahead of the Curve (film), 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:Raininassistant. 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.  Isaidnoway (talk) 21:28, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
I noticed that you edited Ahead of the Curve (film), which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, or represent the film director of that article. Your username suggests you may be connected to the film director of the article.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Thanks. Isaidnoway (talk) 21:34, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Holding Moses
Thank you for declaring a conflict of interest in your edits. Next time you create an article on a subject with which you're professionally connected, please submit it as a draft article for review, rather than create the article in main space as you did. For more information on this, please see Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thank you. Storchy (talk) 07:21, 30 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. It is not clear to me how to submit draft article. I was trying to follow directions. Can you point me to information about creating draft articles? Thanks! Raininassistant (talk) 15:29, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Holding Moses


The article Holding Moses has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Appears to fail WP:NFILM, all minor awards"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
