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. scope_creep Talk 17:56, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Moops, I highly suggest you stop WP:BLUDGEONing in the AFD. It is not a good look and can get you in a lot of trouble. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:28, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jon Hartley 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 until the discussion has finished.

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

I am disappointed. That's an understatement. Cullen328 ( talk) 04:07, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I just got back today, as I did inform some other users, I apparently picked a marvelous time to go on a quick vacation, and one in which I 'disconnected' completely. I did not bring my computer with me and did not want to have any stress of any kind as I travelled. I am back now and am just catching up with everything. It is going to take me some time to review everything, as I do not like to react until I understand exactly what is going on, and frankly, I am dizzy reading all of this. I will refrain from naming users below, out of respect, in the event that it somehow tarnishes their reputation.
Here are the facts as I understand them at a glance, but please bear with me as I work to read through my mountain of emails and messages:
TY kindly. All of you. — Moops ⋠ T⋡ 18:42, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Administrator note - can I gently suggest that this discussion has run its course, and further posts are not necessary. Thanks, firefly ( t · c ) 18:23, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
