User talk:Travelradars

November 2020
Hello Travelradars. The nature of Draft:Travelradar 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:Travelradars. 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. Are you related to the user ? — Smuckola(talk) 20:07, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Smuckola. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Draft:Travelradar 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. ''Hi. We proved that you violated the policy against sockpuppets by making a second account. You also violated the WP:PROMONAME policy by naming this account after a business, having your other account create a promotional article Draft:Travelradar for this account which you have apparently also misspelled. So you need to follow the procedure for having this account renamed, or having this account blocked as a promotional sockpuppet so that your other account is reactivated. And then of course you have to stop editing until you learn how an encyclopedia works or else be blocked for disruptive editing. Almost all of your edits have been reverted because they fail all encyclopedic standards. Thanks.'' — Smuckola(talk) 00:41, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Username policy
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you.

Please also see Sockpuppet investigations/Travelradars. You can make yourself a account with a username that meets our policies, but you must restrict yourself to using just the one account. Any additional sockspuppets in the future will result in you being indefinitely blocked from editing. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:53, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
