Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Themarketinguru. 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 conflict of interest 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. &mdash; Ingenuity (talk &bull; contribs) 00:59, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:LeeNor Dikel


A tag has been placed on Draft:LeeNor Dikel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. 2601:647:5800:4D2:889A:39C6:6E12:A4CE (talk) 01:19, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello Themarketinguru. 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:Themarketinguru. 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. Sam Kuru (talk) 02:02, 29 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your message. I am not being compensated for my edits. I will make sure everything on the pages I edit remains in a neutral tone. Thank you. Themarketinguru (talk) 15:10, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing the issue to my attention. I will add more relevant sources as well to this article. Have a good day. Themarketinguru (talk) 15:14, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, you've again removed the maintenance tags and have continuously added marketing/PR puffery to the article, supported by primary or SEO sources. I've disabled this account until a more ethical response can be produced; we need to rename the account as well as there are several SEO businesses that call themselves "the marketing gurus" or similar nonsense. Sam Kuru (talk) 15:38, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand your reasoning; however, I didn't know that removing the maintenance tags was an issue. I wish you would have communicated that to me before just blocking my account and deleting the page. Now that I have more clarity regarding the rules, kindly undelete the article. I won't add any more sources unless they are highly viable. I will change my name as well. Thanks. Themarketinguru (talk) 16:15, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Please get back to me soon, Sam. I am a new editor, so I don't know all of the rules. Rather than blocking me and not giving me or my articles a chance, I would appreciate if you actually communicate and help me improve rather than shutting me down. You were new at one point too, so I hope you understand. What do I need to do for you to undo your actions and give me another chance? Themarketinguru (talk) 16:22, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Are there any other topics you're interested in contributing to, or just marketing for one specific client? Sam Kuru (talk) 16:28, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I would like to contribute to other topics as well. Please consider the unblock, and please educate me on what I need to do differently next time to do things right, I am trying my best to learn. Thank you in advance for your kindness and your assistance. Themarketinguru (talk) 23:23, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Unblock requests
This talk page is where you should request unblock - it is the only place that you are still permitted to make edits on this project. Read WP:GAB, and post an unblock request that addresses the promotional nature of your editing, and your creation of new accounts to evade the original block.
