Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Danger89. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page WineGUI, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You must disclose your conflict of interests and follow the COI rules, else you risk being blocked. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at User:TheTechie. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 20:56, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So if I understand this correctly - it is OK for TheTechie to break Wiki's own rules (as I pointed out in my last comments in this discussion); but it is not OK for Danger89 to express an objection to the proposed page deletion!?

It is quite extraordinary how cancel culture is taking the place of intelligent debate.

I already was aware that this platform had been used to smear and slander people who's opinions did not line up with establishment narrative - but I gave the platform itself the benefit of the doubt, as it could have been 3rd parties.

But now I see first hand this is just silencing people you don't agree with - making and breaking the rules as you go along. In other words, it is pure fascism. You should be utterly ashamed. Justcosmic1 (talk) 21:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about "cancel culture" or smearing a person or product. The article on your product was assessed and it didn't have sufficient reliable sources that demonstrated the notability of this article subject. It didn't meet Wikipedia standards that are used to judge all articles, regardless of what the subject is. You were advised that you have a COI and shouldn't write about your own invention which is why I think you are taking this so personally. I look at hundreds of AFD discussions every day and there was nothing out of ordinary in the one you object to that resulted in your article being Redirected. It would help if you could look at the big picture of how Wikipedia functions instead of focusing only in on your personal pet project.

And creating a sockpuppet account, Justcosmic1, is why you have been blocked. Your vandalism by blanking TheTechie' User page didn't help either. Why don't you take responsibility for your own actions instead of ridiculously labeling a free encyclopedia as "fascism"? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:43, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to point out that Justcosmic1 is not me. If you banned him, you are banning another real person. Just staying. Danger89 (talk) 22:26, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

About your disruptive editing

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 01:37, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:50, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
