User talk:Pharaoh Phoenix

December 2021

Hello Pharaoh Phoenix. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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, broadly construed, 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:Pharaoh Phoenix. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pharaoh Phoenix|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. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. MrOllie (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

@MrOllie I do not know how to reply to you as I am unfamiliar with Wikipedia discussion boards. I do not work for Quip and I do not have any financial stake in the company. I just got their toothbrush for Christmas and really like it, so I looked at their website and liked how organized everything was. Then I looked them up on Wikipedia and saw there was nothing there so I edited the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pharoah_Phoenix (talk • contribs)

It hard to understand why anyone who wasn't being paid would write something like 'Quip is renowned for their state of the art electric toothbrushes which combine both form and function.', but OK. Please have a read of Wikipedia's policies, particularly WP:NPOV. Wikipedia must be written in neutral language. - MrOllie (talk) 17:05, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

I don't see why it should be hard to understand that people can be fans of companies. There are people who tout Apple and talk about them like they were paid to when really they're just fans. But the article should be neutral tone anyway so that's fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pharoah_Phoenix (talk • contribs)

And yet you just put the same obviously non-neutral language back in. Wikipedia must not be used for advertising, whatever you motivations for doing so might be. - MrOllie (talk) 17:15, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

I UNDID YOUR REVISION AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF EDITING IT TO BE MORE NEUTRAL omg Ollie. I created the page for leg fetishism, you think Quip wanna pay me bruh?
