Nice job on new-collar worker and thanks for being faithfully observant of WP:COI guidelines. Chetsford (talk) 05:54, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so much, Chetsford! This was a departure from the usual articles I work on, and I'm happy that it worked out so well. Just one quick ask for you: would you mind removing the connected contributor banner from the article itself? Once an article goes into livespace, current consensus is that the connected contributor banner should just be kept on the Talk page. Thanks again! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 12:24, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, of course - sorry I didn't notice it was still on the article. Removed now. Chetsford (talk) 17:34, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, Chetsford, much appreciated! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 19:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I looked through some of the articles you have listed on your user page and I noticed that you used {{connected contributor}} to disclose your connection on several articles. I do want to thank you for disclosing your COI however, from your user page it seems that you were paid to edit these pages. In that case Wikipedia's ToU and en.wp's Policy on paid editing requires greater disclosure. Specifically it requires disclosure of 'employer, client and affiliation'. In this case employer would be whomever engaged your company, client would be on whose behalf the edits are being made (often the same as employer) and affiliation would be the name of your company. Some of the articles which are concerning are:

•• Employer and client not specified also does not note that this was work for hire. Please use {{connected contributor (paid)}} instead of {{connected contributor}}

I just did some quick spot checks and many had proper disclosures, which I thank you for. Much of what I saw was noting clients within {{connected contributor}} templates. This does not meet the disclosure requirements because the paid relationship is not made explicit ie a random reader would not know that you were paid by someone based on what is on the talk page. Please check through the others and make sure each article has the required disclosures. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi Jbhunley and thanks for this note, that's a good reminder to go back and update these old projects. As you might have guessed, these were projects that I'd completed before the new template was created (and I think before the ToU update) and I would have disclosed the affiliations in my Talk notes, but I appreciate that someone looking now might not realize that. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 19:50, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the quick response. Updating the articles to the new template would be a great help. Beyond letting other editors know of the paid relationship it helps with the collection of statistics. Each template tags pages it is on with a different category, basically whether the COI is paid or not which helps with understanding how COI vs Paid COI is being managed etc. Cheers! Jbh Talk 19:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Totally understood! I think I've caught them all now. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 21:10, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Great. Thank you very much! Jbh Talk 21:26, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Kosmos-Energy-logo.png

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kosmos-Energy-logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:21, 13 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Magnetar thoughts

edit

Hello Rhiannon,

I spent awhile thinking about the Magnetar article. The further I dig into, the murkier things get. Well, not murky, just complicated. I wrote many comments on the article talk page. The entire article needs to be re-written as it is an outdated mess. I could clean up the entire thing, but I don't know if there would be objections from other editors that you have recently pulled in. I agree with much of your critique of the article as you stated on the talk page.--FeralOink (talk) 05:26, 18 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi FeralOink, thanks for writing me back about this. I think "murky" and "complicated" about sum up the situation on Magnetar. I'll reply more to you over there, but wanted to note here that I appreciate you looking into this and offering your thoughts. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 19:48, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hello Rhiannon. I'd rather have our brief off-article chats on my own user talk page. I will leave a brief response to you there, and will add more to the article talk page after that.--FeralOink (talk) 19:57, 23 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Steve Huffman

Hi, sorry, I was busy. I'll try to take a crack at looking over the changes tonight. At least, verifying the references first. Opencooper (talk) 10:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Contributions to Wikipedia

edit

Hi – I just helped you out with putting in the Citrix edits. I am not going to be able to help you any more unless you are able to contribute to Wikipedia besides through your commercial efforts. There are numerous ways you could participate, such as with the guild of copy editors or new page patrol. I look forward to seeing in your contribution history that you are able to schedule additional time to improve the encyclopedia, and I think this will improve your standing in the community. Without others helping you, Beutler Ink’s business model will no longer work. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 03:02, 17 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for this candid note, Tim, I certainly appreciate what you're saying here. In the spirit of that candid approach, I do want to be honest that I've considered in the past and been torn on how to approach. What my colleagues and I don't want to do is cause more concern or work for the volunteer community. We're mindful that making edits from accounts that say that they're strictly for paid editing is likely to raise suspicions, even if I (or my colleagues) make a point of saying that certain edits are not paid. Likewise, we have strictly volunteer accounts but in some cases, my colleagues don't want to link them to their Beutler Ink account for privacy. We've thought about whether to create secondary accounts that are for "Beutler Ink but volunteer editing". As you might be able to tell: we've discussed it a lot! In any case, I recognize that it would be good for me specifically to do more volunteer editing and I'll work on that. Thanks again for your help and for this feedback. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 20:41, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Did you or Beutler Ink want to comment on what work you did on for the Steve Huffman page?

edit

https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Steve_Huffman

I've reached out to several news organizations to let them know we are seeing some edit wars on a page for a guy caught modifying comments on his site. I also sent them some screenshots of you personally selecting opencooper by name to make some edits and how that is the same editor who appears to be in the edit war.

Additionally what are your thoughts? Do you think a major news event (Even a negative one) is worthy of a seperate section on Wikipedia? You seem to have a vested interest in the Huffman page so the official position would be nice to hear.

Let me know if you'd like to comment for those. I want to make sure we include all sides in this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siihb (talkcontribs) 20:45, 25 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Siihb, thanks for your note here. First up, Beutler Ink is not currently working with Reddit, and has not been for some months now, so I do not have any current connection to Reddit or Huffman. Second, I believe it's up to the Wikipedia community to decide in what fashion any information should be included in the article for Huffman. I don't know if you looked back in the article's history, so you might not have realized: before my requests the page did not mention spezgiving and I requested the addition of material on spezgiving based on its significant coverage in secondary sourcing. Finally, just to be clear, Beutler Ink has no connection of any sort to Opencooper. I pinged them when I first started making requests on the Huffman Talk page because they'd recently been editing the page. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 22:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Side note: I've removed my surname from your comment per WP:PRIVACY. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 22:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, my bad about that. Appreciate the responses. Siihb (talk) 22:50, 25 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
