I see MrsSnoozyTurtle already tried to inquire from you your COI status but you remained evasive and refused to reply to them, but we both know you aren’t escaping me so let’s get to it, what’s the connection between you and the subject of your latest article? Airing me wouldn’t be a good idea, so you better come up with a good reply for this. Celestina007 (talk) 18:01, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Celestina007:,
I am consolidating a response here to your March 13 and March 12 comments, as well as MrsSnoozyTurtle’s March 12 input.
I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies and have studied them. I’m a wiki editor in West Africa who documents people and events associated with Africa’s emerging business, technology and entrepreneur space -- this is an area that is underrepresented on Wikipedia. I pursue this, of course, within the notability and policy requirements of Wikipedia, as well as critically and factually.
Specific to your and MrsSnoozyTurtl’s questions, I am not a fan or directly connected to the subjects of the posts in question. The pages I’ve edited include individuals or subjects who have gained notability in and around African business and tech but have not yet been captured by Wikipedia. Those are the grounds for my editing and I am not in the employ or receiving compensation from any of these subjects, nor any publisher.
I respect your editing judgement and track record, but do wonder if you’ve been excessive in suspending my editing rights and multiple pages here. I also wonder if this is, perhaps, unfair scrutiny because I am an editor in Africa and Nigeria. For example, the posts in question--particularly The Next Africa and author profile-- are to the point and factual and rise to the level of notability. I’ve gone back and cross-checked this, per editor suggestions, and each of these posts has multiple references from accredited sources (secondary and tertiary) per each line of text. Many of the sources, such as The New Yorker of Foreign Affairs, place more scrutiny (and follow greater internal controls) on fact-checking than Wikipedia.
As a matter of course toward becoming a better editor, I review and cross-compare a number of Wikipedia pages for reference and learning. I’ve literally read dozens of pages with highly embellished language and few accredited references with “View History” threads of little to no scrutiny, compared to that which has been placed on my editing.
I hope Wikipedia can continue to be an inclusive, rather than exclusive space, that applies editing policies fairly across countries, people and regions.
Thanks again for your input and I hope this response satisfies your inquiries. Flack.inspired (talk) 14:09, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello Flack.inspired. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Tariye Gbadegesin, 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:Flack.inspired. The template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=Flack.inspired|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. Celestina007 (talk) 18:02, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Celestina007. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Draft:The Next Africa have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Celestina007 (talk) 17:20, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

You are blocked directly for sock puppetry. You appear to be denying this, however your denial on its own does not outweigh the technical and behavioral evidence for this block. PhilKnight (talk) 15:27, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
