Welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition of Goldshield Elite to the List of multi-level marketing companies was reverted, as the company does not have an article on Wikipedia at present. If you would like to write an article about the company, feel free to start it; however, please be sure to comply with Wikipedia's policies on notability, reliable sources, conflict of interest, and spam. If the article is not removed for violating those policies, then feel free to add the company back to the list. Thank you. Argyriou (talk) 21:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Draft:Mike Magolnick concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Mike Magolnick, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:37, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Mike Magolnick

Hello Mmagolnick. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Mike Magolnick".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Mike Magolnick}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 00:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Ed Butowsky, you may be blocked from editing. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 15:50, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

This is not disruptive editing. Our company - Red Flag Reputation manages his online profile. It's important to have the CORRECT information posted. Mmagolnick (talk) 15:53, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

If you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, you MUST disclose that on your user page or you will be blocked from editing. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 15:54, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I am not being paid at all for the Wikipedia work. It is something that I told him I would try to fix on my own time. Mmagolnick (talk) 15:58, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

But you are working for "Red Flag Reputation", no? And I assume you are paid to work there, so that means you are a paid editor. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 15:59, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I own Red Flag Reputation and I'm trying to do a favor here. Wikipedia editing is NOT one of our services. Mmagolnick (talk) 16:06, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

That doesn't matter; you're still being paid to "manage their reputation" online. In addition, you tried to hide what you were changing in the article by making your edit summary "we updated information and fixed some grammar errors". Even if you weren't being paid, you still have a conflict of interest, so you shouldn't be editing the article in the first place. >>> Ingenuity.talk(); 16:09, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

@Mmagolnick As an administrator here, I have to second Ingenuity's concerns over your editing activities. If you are a group of people accessing one account, Wikipedia does not permit that. I can see from this post that you clearly have an undeclared connection with Ed Butowsky and are being paid (directly or indirectly) to edit the article in an attempt to clean it up (you MUST declare that per our obligatory instructions at WP:PAID) Concerns should, indeed, be discussed on the article talk page if cited content is no longer thought to be appropriate to this encyclopaedia. So please express your concerns and wishes there. If you wish, you can suggest alternative text to replace existing content by making an WP:EDITREQUEST (see link for guidance how to do this). We can all then have a discussion about it and assess the content in question, and any action that needs to be taken.

I can see from your attempt to write about yourself back in 2015 that you have worked a long time in reputation management. Wikipedia's concerns over reputation management are laid out at WP:BLP. Anything written about a person must be Verifiable and written in a neutral tone, and be based on proper Reliable, independent sources. The presence of non-flattering content in an article must not be WP:UNDUE, but we do not care about the person's reputation in the wider world, if summarising and repeating reliably published content is germane to the biography of that person - good or ill. If the content is defamatory or clearly unsupported and wrong, then it may be removed immediately. Anything else requires our community to be alerted to concerns on the Talk page so that we can discuss appropriate action. Neither you nor your client/friend/chum own that article, nor may you 'sanitize' it for that friend, and you are required to follow our policies if you want to ensure it properly reflects the known facts about an individual's life and achievements.

Ok. I appreciate the insight. I will have a Wikipedia editor handle this for me. I am not good at Wikipedia at all so best to leave it to the experts. Sorry for any trouble.. Mmagolnick (talk) 16:11, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Mike. I appreciate your understanding. I have just tweaked the lead to put events into the past, rather than present tense. But I know nothing about this person or the lawsuits. You are, as I say, free to make suggestions or any concerns known on the talk page, or tell me now if my small change (see here) has not been helpful. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 16:53, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Nick. That is much appreciated and unexpected. Hope you have a great day! Mmagolnick (talk) 16:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
