Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Stan1900. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Misplaced Pages'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 Misplaced Pages:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 09:22, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:The Misguided has a new comment

The article includes several reliable critical reviews from established film publications:

1. The Hollywood Reporter (Frank Scheck, January 26, 2018) - one of the film industry's primary trade publications

2. Cultured Vultures (Patrick King, January 5, 2018) - established film criticism platform

3. Cinema Crazed (Emilie Black, January 25, 2018) - long-running film review publication

These are not blogs or personal sites, but established film review outlets. Additionally, the film received theatrical distribution through Indie Rights (US) and Umbrella Entertainment (Australia), and premiered at the Lone Star Film Festival. These sources together meet WP:NFILM criteria for notability. Stan1900 (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@Stan1900: what is your relationship to Shannon Alexander or any of the other persons or companies involved with the films you have been writing about? DMacks (talk) 09:14, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

I am working with proper documentation and reliable sources like The Hollywood Reporter review, official festival selections, and legitimate distribution information. All content is based on independent, verifiable sources and maintains a neutral point of view. Happy to make any adjustments needed to meet Misplaced Pages's standards.

Your non-denial and on-wiki edit patterns are noted, thank you. DMacks (talk) 20:08, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

December 2024

Hello Stan1900. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Misplaced Pages's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Misplaced Pages must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Misplaced Pages. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Misplaced Pages 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 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 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:Stan1900. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Stan1900|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) 21:25, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Dear MrOllie, I want to be completely clear: I am not receiving any compensation, payment, or other benefits for these edits. These contributions are made independently using reliable, published sources to document notable films. I am acting in good faith to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of independent cinema and am following all guidelines regarding neutral point of view and verifiable sources. I understand the seriousness of paid editing concerns and assure you this is not the case here. I'm happy to continue working within Misplaced Pages's guidelines to improve these articles. Stan1900 (talk) 23:49, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Can you explain your connection to Shannon Alexander, then? MrOllie (talk) 00:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
