Paid editing[edit]

Hello WillPeppers. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:WillPeppers. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=WillPeppers|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Also, please list all of the accounts you have ever edited Wikipedia with.

User:Yunshui I don't appreciate the liar liar remark and will be happy to show you my ID. I am not working for any firm and haven't done anything for pay. I just turned 18 and can prove anything you ask. This whole investigation and block is highly uncalled for. WillPeppers (talk) 02:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello! I am appealing because I was listed as the sockpuppet of Johnsavn, who I have had absolutely no connection with ever. I know everyone says that when they get hit by a sockpuppet block, but I implore that you run Checkuser again or something because this is incredibly confusing to me. I am not that sockpuppet, and have not operated the DOZENS of accounts on his sockpuppet list. What was it that linked me to him? Was it a certain IP address? Thanks a lot.

Decline reason:

Whether or not this account is connected to Johnsaavn and the other accounts involved (either operated by the same person or someone else working for the same business) there are plenty of other reasons why unblocking you would not be to the benefit of the project. Those reasons include edit-warring, covertly editing for promotional purposes, dishonest attempts to hide the nature of your editing, and pretty certainly sockpuppetry, whether with "Johnsaavn" or not.

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.
