Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Eeltahir. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Elfatih Eltahir, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:30, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I asked you months ago to properly disclose what seems to be an obvious conflict of interest. You didn't do that, and you made further edits to what appears to be your own biography--and these edits do not conform to our guidelines. The language is not neutral (it's resume-writing), they are not explained or verified, and they contain inline URLs to what seem to be primary sources, when BLPs require secondary sourcing. I am going to block you from editing this article directly; you may propose any edits/updates, with secondary sources that verify the information, on the article talk page. Thank you.

February 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Elfatih Eltahir) for undeclared COI editing, edits not in agreement with our guidelines.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Drmies (talk) 15:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Hello. This is a page about myself. All I am trying to do is to add new accurate information, and correct errors and misinformation. I make very little money out of Amazon books and my objective was not to advertise my books, but rather an important side of my activities. If you include the information in my latest version of the edits and correct errors, then I do not need to make any edits. Please feel free to double check each and every piece of information I added from secondary sources. My name in arabic is not written accurately. My citizenship information is not accurate. If you need to contact me, my email is eltahir@mit.edu. Eeltahir (talk) 01:19, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You may make suggestions at Talk:Elfatih Eltahir. You must not, however, continue to edit the article about yourself; I'm surprised you were not prevented from doing this previously. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 04:34, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
