User talk:Rob Ert Wade

January 2017
Hello, I'm Hunc. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Bellevue Education have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

 * Dear Hunc, thank you for letting me know about the reverts made. It, however, seems too radical for me. I can understand that some of the content appears too promotional (even if I double checked to avoid it as much as possible) but I really don't get the reason why you would delete everything especially when most of the content is sourced. Waiting for an answer... Cheers, Rob Ert Wade (talk) 16:45, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Rob Ert Wade. 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, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Citobun (talk) 16:51, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Copyvio, and unsourced content
You copied and pasted extensively from the internet in your recent series of edits at Bellevue Education.

You also added content and cited a source, but the content was not supported by the source: for example here.


 * Information orange.svg Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources. Thank you.


 * [[Image:Copyright-problem.svg|30px|alt=Copyright problem icon]] Your addition 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.  Jytdog (talk)
 * Thank you very much for your explanation, I totally understand what you mean and I will contribute to the page taking into consideration what you just told me. Best, Rob Ert Wade (talk) 13:59, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

WP
Per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, which is policy, the mission of Wikipedia is to provide the public with articles that summarize accepted knowledge. A resource for learning.

Per WP:PROMO, Wikipedia is not a proxy webhost for companies/origanizations/people that are the subjects of articles; the purpose of Wikipedia is not to promote anything or to provide "hot news" about unfolding events.

Please read WP:NOT and edit according to the mission of Wikipedia. See also WP:BOOSTER which is a helpful essay.

this was probably removed per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:CRYSTALBALL - both are sections of WP:NOT. Jytdog (talk) 19:58, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry query
I request you to review the policy statement Sockpuppetry and to follow that policy by elucidating here any relationship you may have with any other editor identities, or with the persons behind them. Specifically, you should start with:

User:217.192.245.154, User:86.180.58.8, User:189.152.144.69, User:UserName22, and the blocked user, User:Wikijan2016.

whose edits display significant themes and styles in common with yours.

Paid editing
Hello Rob Ert Wade. 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:Rob Ert Wade. 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. Jytdog (talk) 14:02, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
