April 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Artificial pancreas may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:00, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest and paid editing in Wikipedia[edit]

Hi ColinHallmark. You disclose here that you "Represents clients in these sectors as a communications consultant."

This is the beginning of the required disclosure per the WP:PAID policy, but it is not complete.

For each set of edits you make on a specific job, you need to disclose the article you are working, your employer, the client, and any other affiliation. It is kind of complicated to use the templates and all - you can just start simply by providing the complete disclosure in a list on your user page, in simple prose.

Like - I worked on Oxygen firebreak for pay. My employer was X, the client was Y, and Z. (for Z any relevant affiliation - generally freelancers use that to say "And I was hired through Upwork) or the like. Employer and client are often the same for freelancers. If you work for a digital marketing or PR or communications agency, that of course is your employer and whoever the client is, is the client.

Would you please post that information to your userpage? Once that is done we can talk about the rest of the COI management process, but disclosure is first. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 22:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jytdog. I'll add that information to my user page now and review the COI management process ColinHallmark (talk) 09:37, 5 February 2018 (UTC)ColinHallmark[reply]

Thanks for adding to the disclosure in this diff. It is not clear who your employer is. Are you freelancing or do you work for an agency of some kind? If you work for some sort of agency you need to name it; if you are a freelancer you should state that, and also state how you connected with your clients (e.g. freelancer, upwork, etc). You should also be aware of the recent RfC on meta (especially since you made your disclosure on meta), which says that you should disclose links to any off-WP accounts you are using to obtain business. Would you please take care of that stuff? Once the disclosure is done we can move on to the rest. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 23:12, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to oblige Jytdog. ColinHallmark (talk) 09:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)ColinHallmark[reply]

Alright, unfortunately none of us admins can do anything about this. You're going to have to go to WP:IPEC and request IP block exemption per the directions there. — Daniel Case (talk) 21:38, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
