Hello, I'm MrOllie. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 14:45, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello MrOllie. Thank you for your feedback. I am not going to challenge your decision, but I just want to understand. In my opinion, the last edit was written objectively, doesn't mention a company or links to a company's website. The Stirling International Association is an independent and trustworthy source, the referred paper is peer-reviewed. Your assistance if highly appreciated. Many thanks! --ThoughtLeaders (talk) 15:50, 25 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Sourcing must be independently written, not authored by the principal of the company in question. MrOllie (talk) 15:52, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Ok, understood! Many thanks. ThoughtLeaders (talk) 15:59, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. MrOllie (talk) 16:10, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello ThoughtLeaders. 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:ThoughtLeaders. 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. MrOllie (talk) 16:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello MrOllie. Herewith I state, that I am not receiving compensation for the edit. ThoughtLeaders (talk) 16:51, 15 December 2021 (UTC)


 * That is rather more specific than what the policy lays out. Are you employed by Frauscher or associated with them in some capacity? - MrOllie (talk) 16:53, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

No, I am not employed by Frauscher. But I do know the people there and have witnessed the stunning development of their Stirling engines. ThoughtLeaders (talk) 17:04, 15 December 2021 (UTC)


 * In any event, please stop adding promotional material about them, especially citing sources that have an obvious conflict of interest. - MrOllie (talk) 17:07, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
