Hello, Ghst343,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Influenster should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Influenster .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, PhilKnight (talk) 20:20, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding more sources to Influenster.

No problem! I'm glad I was able to help. Ghst343 021:00, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:InfluensterLogo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:27, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)).  Drmies (talk) 17:50, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• This block is temporary. I'm about to look into your entire edit history--I have a suspicion you're a COI editor who is here only to promote one single article. Drmies (talk) 17:51, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ghst343. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Influenster, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the ((request edit)) template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Your edits clearly indicate a likely conflict of interest. If indeed you are a paid editor, meaning the company pays you for these edits or you work for the company in a position where this is part of your job, you must disclose your connection. Drmies (talk) 17:59, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use require that editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation" with respect to any paid contribution; see WP:PAID. For advice about reviewing paid contributions, see WP:COIRESPONSE. Ghst343 (talk · contribs) has been paid by Influenster.

• Ghst343, I am willing to unblock this account if a. you tell me you are going to abide by a strict limitation to one account and b. that you are going to read WP:COIDISCLOSEPAY and follow it to the letter and the spirit, by placing the above template on your user page and on the talk page of the article. Ping me when you respond. And please note that even when disclosed, an editor's work needs to be in agreement with our policies and guidelines; in this case that means that edits must be neutral and an article may not turn into a promotional page. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: I understand and will cease to edit the Influenster page outside of suggesting edits on the talk page. That being said this is my only account and I haven't made any edits to the Influenster page or any page in a long time outside of today's swapping of the logo image to the new one that launched a few weeks ago across all public spaces other than Wikipedia. I plan on adding the connected contributor tag above to my profile as soon as the block is lifted and will add it to Influenster's talk page as well.

• Done: you are unblocked. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 02:53, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
