Hello RightCowLeftCoast. 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:RightCowLeftCoast. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=RightCowLeftCoast|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.

Methinks I see an heavenly Host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing. Let all your fears be banished hence, Glad tidings I proclaim; For there's a Savior born today And Jesus is his name. Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks, To Bethlehem repair; And let your wandering steps be squared By yonder shining star. Seek not in courts or palaces; Nor royal curtains draw; But search the stable, See your God extended on the straw. Then learn from hence, ye rural swains, The meekness of your God, Who left the boundless realms of joy, To ransom you with blood. The master of the inn refused A more commodious place; Ungenerous soul of savage mold And destitute of grace. - from William Billings, "Shiloh" |

On 26 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dawn Mabalon, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that professor Dawn Mabalon's (pictured) proofs of discrimination against Filipino Americans led to the neighborhood of Little Manila being listed as one of America's Most Endangered Places? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dawn Mabalon. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Dawn Mabalon), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi RightCowLeftCoast! I thought you might be interested in my 2 most recent updates to the Gacy serial killer wiki article. Added back Pogo the Clown, unbulleted, and Party = democrat small "d" after reading some arguments others were having with Kieronoldham on the Talk Page. Check out my reason for the one edit if you can. Of course, thank you to you personally for emboldening me and educating me about wiki practices, methods, policies, etc. Great to know you!

Over two months ago, on 24 February 2019, you tagged “Bakbakan International” as not meeting the notability requirements. Since then, no efforts have been made to prove the notability of the topic, so I have nominated the article for deletion, and I thought I would let you know.
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bakbakan International until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bsoyka ✉ 08:14, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
@ Maile66, Gatoclass, and Materialscientist: I was not aware that an article that I had nominated for GAR, had been elevated nearly a month ago, as the bot had never informed me of the review opening, nor did the bot place the icon on the article page (I had to do that today). While I know it has been more than seven days since it was promoted, can I get a petition for an exemption to this, for this instance, per WP:IAR?-- RightCowLeftCoast ( Moo) 06:27, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello, great to meet you! DrMel just emailed me to ask that you and her be given the Event coordinator right, which allows users to create accounts with fewer limits and give other people confirmed status, so they can avoid CAPTCHAs and create articles.

Hey hey Cow :) Hey how's it going? This chat topic that I'm going to broach probably belongs on a Wikipedia official page about (what are) Talk pages, **on the very Talk section** of that said page... That being said, I know Wikipedia is all about complete transparency, and history of edits, and contributions for all of its users, registered users, but isn't it a little strange that somebody can watch (or set to watch) anyone else's User Talk page? I forgot that I had yours set to Watch for future replies to my own conversations, and I'm continually seeing what people write on your page over time. So... along those lines, is there a setting or feature where you can see a list of who's watching which pages, Wikipedia-wide? Or at least for ones own Talk page, could a user see a list of Wiki users who are watching it? I think that would be an interesting feature, suggestion, software enhancement! - What are your thoughts? Vid2vid ( talk) 00:05, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 149th Armored Regiment, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page East of Eden ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello RightCowLeftCoast. 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:RightCowLeftCoast. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=RightCowLeftCoast|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.

Methinks I see an heavenly Host Of angels on the wing; Methinks I hear their cheerful notes, So merrily they sing. Let all your fears be banished hence, Glad tidings I proclaim; For there's a Savior born today And Jesus is his name. Lay down your crooks and quit your flocks, To Bethlehem repair; And let your wandering steps be squared By yonder shining star. Seek not in courts or palaces; Nor royal curtains draw; But search the stable, See your God extended on the straw. Then learn from hence, ye rural swains, The meekness of your God, Who left the boundless realms of joy, To ransom you with blood. The master of the inn refused A more commodious place; Ungenerous soul of savage mold And destitute of grace. - from William Billings, "Shiloh" |

On 26 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dawn Mabalon, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that professor Dawn Mabalon's (pictured) proofs of discrimination against Filipino Americans led to the neighborhood of Little Manila being listed as one of America's Most Endangered Places? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dawn Mabalon. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Dawn Mabalon), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi RightCowLeftCoast! I thought you might be interested in my 2 most recent updates to the Gacy serial killer wiki article. Added back Pogo the Clown, unbulleted, and Party = democrat small "d" after reading some arguments others were having with Kieronoldham on the Talk Page. Check out my reason for the one edit if you can. Of course, thank you to you personally for emboldening me and educating me about wiki practices, methods, policies, etc. Great to know you!

Over two months ago, on 24 February 2019, you tagged “Bakbakan International” as not meeting the notability requirements. Since then, no efforts have been made to prove the notability of the topic, so I have nominated the article for deletion, and I thought I would let you know.
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bakbakan International until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bsoyka ✉ 08:14, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
@ Maile66, Gatoclass, and Materialscientist: I was not aware that an article that I had nominated for GAR, had been elevated nearly a month ago, as the bot had never informed me of the review opening, nor did the bot place the icon on the article page (I had to do that today). While I know it has been more than seven days since it was promoted, can I get a petition for an exemption to this, for this instance, per WP:IAR?-- RightCowLeftCoast ( Moo) 06:27, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

I ask that you show your support for the issues that need to be address by voting for me as one of your preferences.

As of the 7 May 2019 list of questions, I am the only candidate to have responded to all of the “Questions for all candidates - Questions for this individual candidate that do not apply to other candidates”.

Hey hey Cow :) Hey how's it going? This chat topic that I'm going to broach probably belongs on a Wikipedia official page about (what are) Talk pages, **on the very Talk section** of that said page... That being said, I know Wikipedia is all about complete transparency, and history of edits, and contributions for all of its users, registered users, but isn't it a little strange that somebody can watch (or set to watch) anyone else's User Talk page? I forgot that I had yours set to Watch for future replies to my own conversations, and I'm continually seeing what people write on your page over time. So... along those lines, is there a setting or feature where you can see a list of who's watching which pages, Wikipedia-wide? Or at least for ones own Talk page, could a user see a list of Wiki users who are watching it? I think that would be an interesting feature, suggestion, software enhancement! - What are your thoughts? Vid2vid ( talk) 00:05, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
