Blocked for COI/UPE issues

[edit]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page.

As this block is based off of private evidence, it can additionally be appealed to the Arbitration Committee by email to arbcom-en@wikimedia.org.

For an unblock to be considered, you must:

  • Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
  • State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
  • Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

Administrators: if this block includes a Volunteer Response Team ticket number, this block was placed as part of the conflict of interest VRT queue and the user must not be unblocked without the express consent of a user with access to the queue. For users with access to the queue, please see ticket:2025061410000639.

The conflict of interest queue additionally received evidence indicating you edited as User:Whitemancanjump23. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 02:26, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MaskedSinger, I've seen your email. To respond, the COI team was sent evidence demonstrating a connection between you and a person who was receiving compensation for edits. Pieces of evidence on and off wiki indicated you and this person were one and the same. If you did not engage in paid editing, to convince someone with access to this evidence to unblock you, you would need to demonstrate how you are not this person, or demonstrate you were not actually compensated for these edits (note that you may still have a conflict of interest even if you weren't compensated). Given Wikipedia's rules on disclosing the real-life identity of other editors (WP:OUTING), it's difficult for me to directly talk to you about this evidence. This is why it might be better for you to appeal to the Arbitration Commitee (email listed above), where this private evidence can be discussed and you can protect your own privacy.

Thank you @Moneytrees MaskedSinger (talk) 18:13, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To answer your latest question, I'm not currently on the committee so I don't have direct insight into how they'll go about this; they probably won't give you very direct details, especially if you aren't appealing. To elaborate a bit, I am allowed to say that some of the offsite evidence indicates you at least have/had a conflict of interest with Voice of the People (Israel) and Draft:Israellycool, although that wasn't the sole reason you were blocked.

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:31, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
