Hello, Sarah at PMI. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 13:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
You copied content from my draft without my permission and you are making requests using content from my draft without my permission. That is a copyright violation. See Wikipedia:Copyright violations and Wikipedia:Plagiarism. Please stop. QuackGuru ( talk) 17:35, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
I reverted your copyright violation. Please do not copy content from my draft and make proposals on the talk page using content from my draft. Also do not make proposals on the talk page based on my draft. You are not me. QuackGuru ( talk) 17:41, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

You wrote "Hi HLHJ, thank you for making some edits in response to my request, and I can understand that you prefer not to include text I've drafted." [7] You also wrote "The existing content about this debate could be moved to the lede or to the etymology section, but the rest of the article should use a neutral term rather than smoke." [8] This edit appears to contain content that violated policy. I explained it on the talk page the policy violations. According to your comment on the talk page you supported the edit. I do not support the policy violations. The debate about PMI and the researchers should not be moved to an etymology section. It is not about etymology. It is a disagreement about smoke versus aerosol. I am concerned about your recent comments on the talk page. You stated "I do agree that there is no consensus in the media on whether IQOS produces smoke or not. However, smoke is the contested term, not aerosol." [9] Smoke is the contested term by PMI. This debate started with PMI contacting the researchers. QuackGuru ( talk) 20:31, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi Sarah at PMI. Thanks for disclosing that you work for Philip Morris, and for following the COI guideline and PAID policy.
Please be aware that working within the conflict management process is a baseline for being a member of the editing community in good standing.
You are also obligated to follow community policies and guidelines for content first; ahead of your obligations to your employer. You should not advocate for changes that violate our content policies; please be very cautious about asking, and especially about repeatedly asking, for removal of negative information that is well sourced. This is not appropriate. (see also WP:PAYTALK.
Understanding the mission of WP, and the policies and guidelines through which the editing community realize the mission, is very important. There are a whole slew of policies and guidelines that govern content and behavior here in Wikipedia. Please see User:Jytdog/How for an overview of what Wikipedia is and is not (we are not a directory or a place to promote anything), and for an overview of the content and behavior policies and guidelines. Learning and following these is very important, and takes time. Please be aware that you have created a Wikipedia account, and this makes you a Wikipedian - you are obligated to pursue Wikipedia's mission first and foremost when you work here, and you are obligated to edit according to the policies and guidelines. Editing Wikipedia is a privilege that is freely offered to all, but the community restricts or completely takes that privilege away from people who will not edit and behave as Wikipedians.
Good luck and thanks again. Jytdog ( talk) 12:56, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
HLHJ, you had trouble acknowledging the content failed verification. See Talk:Electric_smoking_system/Archive_4#Pipe. HLHJ, you added an image of a pizza that was unrelated to the article. [10] There are many more examples.
I think there is a strong case to be made for HLHJ being excluded from directly editing this topic area. The lengthy history of failed verification content edits advocating an idealised form of anti-tobacco is at odds with common practice, places HLHJ firmly on the wrong side of WP:V. HLHJ, for the next time, I suggest you propose all changes on talk first, with existing text, suggested replacement, reasons for the change, and sources. I suggest you do this one small change at a time. If you do not, then I think you could find that arbitration enforcement sanctions will be requested, and could likely exclude you from the topic area altogether. Consider this a free drink at the Last Chance Saloon; the next one will not be free. QuackGuru ( talk) 23:50, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi Sarah, thank you for acknowledging that you're a paid editor for Philip Morris International. Given the contentious nature of articles about that company and its products, it's important to stick to the spirit and letter of the guideline. In particular, see WP:PAYTALK (bold added):
Paid editors must respect the volunteer nature of the project and keep discussions concise. When proposing changes to an article, they should describe the suggested modifications and explain why the changes should be made. Any changes that may be contentious, such as removal of negative text, should be highlighted.
It's also important not to take up a lot of volunteer time. The best position for you is to restrict yourself to requesting the correction of factual errors, but otherwise to leave matters of judgement to the volunteer editors. SarahSV (talk) 20:38, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Sarah, the arbitration committee allows administrators to impose discretionary sanctions in relation to some of Wikipedia's most contentious topics. One of those topic areas is electronic cigarettes. I'm therefore posting an alert below to make sure you know about this. The alert does not imply any wrongdoing on your part. You'll find some links below that explain the system.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the Electronic cigarette topic area. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

I know you have a COI as a paid editor, however if you don't mind is it okay if you can reflect your thoughts on this RfC right here? I'd just like to see your view/opinions, Thanks. -- NikkeKatski [Elite] ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:05, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Hey there! At some point, you signed up at WP:cleanup/Members, and at some later point you were moved to the "Inactive members" section because you hadn't been active on Wikipedia for 6 months or more. I see you've been active recently, so I thought I'd make you aware of this. Feel free to move yourself back to "Active members", maybe freshen up your signature... Perhaps we'll see you around on the main project page, where you can always be of help. Kind regards from PJvanMill) talk( 14:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
The gist of my concerns rely entirely on the product comparison tables in the "Models" section, that are very close to tables that one might find on an online product page. Given the history of paid contributions, and the subject matter, I can't approve the article in this state. That being said, if the section was removed, I'd be willing to move it forward, and would take care of the technical aspects of the move. Please leave me a message on my talk page if you have made these changes, so that I can launch the technical process. It should take roughly 1-2 days after start of this process for the article to be published.
