Hi Pdebee. Is there any action I need to take here. I am unsure of why something that I thought was closed 4 years ago is surfacing now. Thx for your help Pottablom ( talk) 11:38, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
Dear {{U|Pdebee|Patrick}}
below, after indenting your reply with two colons, i.e. one more than I added in the present reply to you (see
WP:THREAD).::::{{U|Pdebee|Patrick}}
, with 4x colons before each of your paragraphs, like this... ::::
. Therefore, in my next reply to you, I would increase the number of colons to 5x colons, and then you'd increase it to 6x colons when writing your following reply, and so on. That way, it's a lot easier to see the block of text for each iteration.Hello, Pottablom, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Julia Gretarsdottir, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Hello Pottablom. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:Pottablom. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pottablom|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, do not edit further until you answer this message. —

Patrick I turn to you once again for help. If you could assist me with an input on whether I have COI in regards to contributing Iceland´s figure skating history on Wikipedia. I did so in good faith and am neither a paid employee nor compensated in any other way nor do I hope to be. You can see the conversation I have had here below on my talk page headlined as August 2020. I hesitate to contribute further in my contribution/edits are deemed against rules. Thank you for any assistance or clarification you might shed on this as I take it very seriously. Pottablom ( talk) 17:31, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Audrey Freyja Clarke, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Santana. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 06:12, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

to link to the correct page. That is to say, there is a difference between
Santana (the disambiguation page) and
Santana (the “piped” article about the band), even though they look the same to the reader: please click on both to see the difference between the two. The correct approach for linking to a piped page is explained at
WP:FIXDABLINKS:
When repairing a link, use
pipe syntax so that the link does not show the new qualifier. For example, when renaming Topic Name to Topic Name (qualifier), [[Topic Name (qualifier)|Topic Name]]
will render as Topic Name just like the original.
