Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Port Stanley, Ontario 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:37, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

COI
Hello, TylerWastell. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:40, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Undid revision 896175154 by Magnolia677 (talk)
Thanks. I changed the post to include an independent source. I feel it is relevant, educational and important to note as the development is a game changer for the town. With the independent source, it lets readers know how Port Stanley will change over the next few years.

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Port Stanley, Ontario, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:TylerWastell, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Wastell Homes
Disclosing that I work for Wastell Homes on a new development in Port Stanley. We feel our substantial development should be included on the Port Stanley Wikipedia page as it will bring more tourism, development and business to all the local businesses in Port Stanley.
 * In these three edits you added new material substantiated by https://www.kokomobeachclub.com/ - a website your firm controls. That site does not measure up to the standards for references we use.
 * In these five edits you linked to the St. Thomas Journal three times - as if you were linking to three different articles. But you actually linked to the same article three times.  That is highly misleading.  Sometimes the Globe and Mail or the Toronto Star will publish advertizing copy made to look like actual reporting, but they will mark it as advertizing, to avoid tricking readers.  I don't think the St Thomas Journal measured up to that standard, as the article  looks like an "advertorial" - so it doesn't really measure up to the standards we use, either.


 * I am not intimately familiar with our rules and guidelines on conflicts of interest, but I suspect your editing, so far, has not complied. Even if, for the sake of argument, it did comply, I would still urge you to further familiarize yourself with our project's goals, policies, and standards, before you made more edits.


 * In particular, the wikipedia goal is not to "bring more tourism, development and business to all the local businesses in Port Stanley," or any other region.


 * If the London Free Press publishes a profile of a group which, for the sake of argument, opposed your development, because of how it might damage the Kettle Creek watershed, we'd cover that as well. Geo Swan (talk) 18:24, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
