Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Sarahjkay. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Thank you. Bilby (talk) 00:36, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Krystle and Tiffany Mataras[edit]

Hi, I'm Teblick. Sarahjkay, thanks for creating Krystle and Tiffany Mataras!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Internet Movie Database is not considered a reliable source for use in Wikipedia articles. Try to find reliable sources for the information that is attributed to IMDB.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Krystle and Tiffany in Kindergarten Cop.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Krystle and Tiffany in Kindergarten Cop.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation link notification for March 24[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Krystle and Tiffany Mataras, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Undisclosed paid editing[edit]

Hello Sarahjkay. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.
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, and if it does not, 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, 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:Sarahjkay. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sarahjkay|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.

You were informed about the requirement to disclose that you are paid to contribute more than two weeks ago, but have not taken any steps towards this. Please do so as a matter of urgency. Thank you SmartSE (talk) 12:47, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk) SmartSE I apologize, I thought that this was a warning and I didn't realize that I had to respond. I've thoroughly read through COI and I do not believe that I am an offender. I do not and have not been paid (or am due to be paid) for any of my articles. I've made line item edits throughout the years for various articles. Recently, Wikipedia has interested me more and more and I'd like to get involved in the community. I created the page for Krystle and Tiffany Mataras because I am a 90s movie buff - I was watching Camp Nowhere and tried to track down the names of the twin actresses and found them on the Wikipedia Camp Nowhere cast list but they were one of the few from that movie without a Wikipedia page. A lot of their cast-mates had Wikipedia articles (with similar 90's resumes) so I went ahead with one not thinking that it would be an issue since they are listed in other Wiki articles. I received notice that IMDB does not count for citations and I adjusted with other cast links. However, since they are listed in 3 other articles I didn't think that it would be too big of and issue. Again, I'm new to creation and obviously naive so I apologize if I missed something here. I've read your notes on propose an article and draft and I will use these moving forward. I located photos for the twins on their Facebook and messaged them to see if it would be okay to use one or two for a Wikipedia page. A woman by the name of Gerri responded and also notified me that they were born in Athens, Greece. I apologize if this sort of behaviour breaks Wikipedia rules - I was trying to do my due diligence in proper photo authentication. I also went ahead and uploaded far too many photos but subsequently requested them to be deleted (which they were). Again, I'm sorry for this error. Since I don't know these sisters I like to think that I kept a neutral point of view - sorry if that doesn't come across as such. I tried to use the Olsen Twins Wikipedia as a reference.

As for Ryan Zagata - I own a Brooklyn Bicycle Co. bicycle and I love it. I've been raving about them to friends for the past year. I went onto Brooklyn Bicycle Co. Wikipedia and noticed that there was some information missing and no infobox. Having never created an infobox before I read through the instructions and contacted Brooklyn Bicycle Co. for use of their logo which I was supplied. When editing this Wikipedia I realized that the CEO didn't have one but there was TONS of information available online for him. I then requested a headshot (which was supplied) and moved forward with the article - for reference, I tried to mimic the layout of the Wikipedia Page for Justin Winter. Not too much info but plenty of sources.

I've never had a problem with the various line items that I'd added so I've obviously over-stepped with the creation of articles and for that I apologize. I'll keep learning more before I create another article. I've also learned a lot more about proper reference techniques which I'll remember moving forward.

I do not have a COI and I do not know any of the individuals written about nor have I or do I work for them. One is based out of New York and the other California and I am out of Toronto, Canada. I've worked in the music industry for over a decade and I was trying to expand my knowledge on Wikipedia and become a part of the Community. Apologies if I over-stepped or created something(s) in error.

Sockpuppet investigation[edit]

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sarahjkay, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

SmartSE (talk) 12:56, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing for sock puppetry per evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sarahjkay.
