Richard Read
Thanks for your contributions to this article. With regard to your adding him to the list of Lake Oswego residents, the reason it keeps getting deleted is because nowhere in the citations you provide does it say that he is a resident of Lake Oswego. No one is questioning his notability. If you have information about his residency, such as any news article about him that mentions where he lives, please provide it in the Richard Read article. There is a hidden note that explains this under the "Notable Residents" section of the Lake Oswego article that you can see in the edit view. Please let me know if you have further questions. Thanks!! --Esprqii (talk) 00:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard Read, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages David Craig and Gene Roberts. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Tintin88. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Richard Read, 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:Tintin88. 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. ''The long term editing that is very specifically around him suggests managed editing. Please clarify if and when you get this message.'' Graywalls (talk) 10:59, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Tintin88! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. ''Almost all your edits, including major edits are tagged as minor. Please see the guidelines.'' Graywalls (talk) 11:01, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
