Ways to improve Jeff Abraham[edit]

Hello, Sampeters321,

Thank you for creating Jeff Abraham.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

More of this article mentions what he wrote rather than who he is.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|James-the-Charizard}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, Sampeters321. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Jeff Abraham, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia'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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jmertel23 (talk) 20:36, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation[edit]

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/The Real Sam Peters, 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.

July 2020[edit]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Toddst1 (talk) 16:53, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at The Show Won't Go On.

what is the issue?

You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. It is more than obvious that you are the same individual as the now blocked Goodstory (talk · contribs) that has an obvious financial interest in promoting Kearns. Toddst1 (talk) 20:10, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Todd, i went through this last year.. es i was goodstory but lost the password for the account, couldnt get on and started a new one... I am NOT paidiby anyone and am not posting anything fake or promotional for a number of people I know. i correct or post FACTS... I never heard of ‘siruptive editing’ I am certainly not trying to do that. I dont mean to offend or harm anyone. and I removed a template becaus it said it could be done if isue was fixed. i thought issue had ben fixed .apologies. i donate to wikipedia and want to be part of creating this vital record. SamPeters321 is me and thats my only account. What can I do to make amends? apologies. I am NOT paid! Just home in lockdown. Thanks

Disambiguation link notification for May 4[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Burt Kearns, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Breaking the Ice. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

May 2024[edit]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

  • Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
  • State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
  • Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.
signed, Rosguill talk 18:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recognize that you eventually disavowed any paid editing after multiple warnings above, but I find your explanations insufficient, as your patterns of editing are highly consistent with that of paid editors, frequently feature breathless promotional prose, and in the case of Burt Kearns, overlap extensively with other accounts that have been blocked for sockpuppetry and UPE. A successful unblock request will address how you identify which topics to edit and the issues with neutrality in text you have contributed. signed, Rosguill talk 19:06, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i am not being paid by anyone. Sampeters321 (talk) 20:29, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not how to respond to your declaration that I am a liar, but I can assure you I am NOT being paid by anyone. I am not sure what you mean by “breathless promotional prose." All I have contributed has been factual,on a number of subjects whose work I am acquainted with or people whose work I am knowledgeable of. A number of years ago, I had an account that stopped working (I cant recall if it was a password mixup or a change in email addresses, thatled to the “sockpuppet” accusations. I stated- that I had started a new account to replace the old one and as far as I know my reputation had been cleared. I hope this can be cleared up as well, I do notwant to affect the reputations of the subjects I have written about. I have included no falsehoods. (Also my I ask, who is the jury that has excommunicated me from contributing? Is it one person who has targeted me? It is a confusing a frustrating situation to be in. Thank you.)

You said that you had a relationship with one subject of your edits, do you have relationships with the other subjects of your edits? 331dot (talk) 08:15, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also be aware, you can have a conflict of interest while not being compensated for your edits. --Yamla (talk) 10:05, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have relationships with the subjects... I know them or am aware of their work, some connected to others. as for a 'conflict,' no one whose page I have contribued to is unworthy of inclusion in wikipedia. nothing I added or wrote is false, and I am adding factual substance to the record, so i dont understand the targeting. i believe i am an asset to the ewikipedia team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sampeters321 (talkcontribs)

Conflict of interest has nothing to do with the worthiness of including a subject in Wikipedia. It has to do with neutrality. So you were incorrect that you know the daughter of a subject of your edits? 331dot (talk) 08:52, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking the Ice (TV series) moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Breaking the Ice (TV series). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. signed, Rosguill talk 18:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rosguill, how can I improve the text if you have blocked me. I have NOT been paid by anyone. This is what U do in my spare time, contribute to the wikipedia, just as I assume you do. I feel I have been a positive contributor to Wikipedia and am very frustrated that your accusation and suspicions are enough to ban me. I AM NOT PAID BY ANYONE. Do people actually pay for submissions in Wikipedia? Sampeters321 (talk) 22:10, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
