October 2022[edit]
Hello ThomasAnthony23. 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:ThomasAnthony23. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=ThomasAnthony23|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. 331dot (talk) 13:40, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- I am not paid writer .Currently looking for notable person in online to have there name into Wikipedia which fulfilled the criteria to be eligible on the Wikipedia. ThomasAnthony23 (talk) 13:43, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Your comments both at the Teahouse and here suggest that you are associated with the person you want to write about. If you are, that is required to be disclosed. I assume you didn't pick this person at random. 331dot (talk) 13:45, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- I have not connected with the person . I found some Billiard Players which I saw them in the tournament before and they are Ranking 1 in Trickshot on pool game . And I actually did not found him on the Wikipedia. I found some good source about the person . I am more likely writing about Billiards players. If I ever get paid to write I will definitely pick paid to write options and will follow Wikipedia rules and regulations ThomasAnthony23 (talk) 13:53, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Okay. Who is the "we" you referred to at the Teahouse? 331dot (talk) 13:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Should we pick directly from online and copyright ©️ it ? By the we I tried to said editors of Wikipedia (we). That way I said it sounds we (me and some others) but I meant to be us wiki editors or writers here. Because I saw some profile has picture and they have copyright issues written and it was also my part of question. Because some profile I don’t see any picture .

- Okay. Thanks for the clarification. We don't have profiles here, we have articles. Unless you take a picture of this person yourself with your own camera, you will need to investigate a picture's copyright carefully to see if it is compatible with Wikipedia's copyright. Wikipedia's allows for reuse by anyone for any purpose(including commercial) with attribution. Any picture that says "all rights reserved" is incompatible. See WP:UPIMAGE for more information. 331dot (talk) 14:09, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Article deletions[edit]
Please stop proposing articles for deletion until you have a better understanding of the process. On one, you posted a AfD tag on the article without having started the AfD process. An editor reverted that, then started a proper AfD. You also initiated two PROD processes that were reverted for cause. I suggest you spend more time working on improving articles rather than hunting for what to delete. David notMD (talk) 15:58, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Oh got it . Sure I will be doing it . Thank you for pointed that to me ThomasAnthony23 (talk) 16:00, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
