Affiliations

Hi! Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosing affiliations that you have with the subjects you write about. Are you in any way affiliated with or receiving benefits from Eric Vanderburg, JurInnov, related companies/persons or other subjects you have edited about on Wikipedia? -- intgr [talk] 20:42, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me: I have placed a notice on my talk page and on Vanderburg's page regarding my paid edits. Zuckerden (talk) 18:48, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for being so forthcoming! If you haven't already, then please read the WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide (and more details at WP:Conflict of interest). While paid editing is not forbidden on Wikipedia — as long as you disclose the fact and comply with the policies — it is certainly controversial.

By all means, I think you should continue; I would much rather have you doing the paid edits than the various shady "cloak and dagger" paid editors who deny everything and use every opportunity to evade detection (like the previous COI editor on Eric Vanderburg's page).

I haven't looked into your edits in detail, but I especially urge you to make sure you remain neutral and balanced in your edits and refuse the temptation to use sources that are self-published by the subject or affiliates. If you undertake an article, please cover both the positives and the negatives. Doing otherwise is irresponsible, as biased articles damage the reputation of Wikipedia, and they drain one of our most precious resource — the time of unpaid volunteers who are often left with the thankless task of bringing articles back into balance (and often don't get to it until years later). -- intgr [talk] 10:15, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much for being very friendly about it, and I will certainly take your comments on board! I am aware that Wikipedia has been reeling from a number of paid edit controversies, and appreciate the friendly advice you've given to me.

And for full disclosure for all Wikipedians reading this: although I have been paid to do my edits on that page, I have no knowledge of this previous editor on Eric's page, have had no prior knowledge of him beforehand, nor did Eric dictate to me what to include or exclude from his article. He himself has acknowledged the page is, in his words, "a mess" because of the controversy surrounding COI editing. Zuckerden (talk) 20:00, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HelgaStick, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jonathan M. Lamb

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jonathan M. Lamb, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
