Hello.

Your are posting from a brand-new account. Your third post is this, where you copy/paste a warning to a more experienced editor's talk page. This warning was not appropriate, since that editor was nowhere near WP:3RR.

Since it's very unlikely that you, as a brand new editor, would be familiar with edit warring templates unless you had previously received them on some other page, please carefully review Sockpuppetry. Using multiple accounts is usually prohibited, especially if it is to avoid scrutiny for things like edit warring.

If you are affiliated with The Blackstone Group, you should carefully review Conflict of interest. If you are compensated for editing that article, you must follow Paid-contribution disclosure.

Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 20:44, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello Theoracle102. 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:Theoracle102. 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. You've had a couple of people ask you now - you are required to disclose if you are connected The Blackstone Group in some way.

 * Hi. I am not employed by an PR firm or any companies. Happy to supply more evidence directly to admins via email. All I did was move a sentence, not sure why this warrants such hostility from other users. Theoracle102 (talk) 22:29, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
