Hello, I'm Graywalls. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Hello, I see you have a lot of experience and have been around for a long time, but the sources you're using is a cause for concern. Personal websites should rarely be used with slim exception such as using the article subject's own site to cite things such as their birthday/place of birth. I see you've extensively used a personal website plaskett.family on multiple articles, which is not a reliable source per our definition. Graywalls ( talk) 00:38, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Graywalls ( talk) 03:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Do you have any relationship with Ventana Wilderness Alliance whose article you created? I noticed more than a few citations to them and noticed a considerable portion of citations to this group was done by you. One eaxmple is Special:Diff/960875748. Thank you. Graywalls ( talk) 08:04, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
I also have additional COI concerns about White Stag Leadership Development Program and Béla H. Bánáthy as it appears you may have a close relationship with these article subjects, yet specific disclosures have not been made by you. Graywalls ( talk) 11:48, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello Btphelps. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Béla H. Bánáthy, 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 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 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:Btphelps. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Btphelps|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.

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Drmies ( talk) 17:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
