UPE

Hello Zuck28. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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:Zuck28. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Zuck28|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.
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Rillet, Front App, Inc., Diapason, MrMed AfD manipulation.

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 an unblock 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.

Administrators: if this block includes a Volunteer Response Team ticket number, this block was placed as part of the conflict of interest VRT queue and the user must not be unblocked without the express consent of a user with access to the queue. Admins lifting or loosening such blocks without appropriate authorization may, at the discretion of the Arbitration Committee, be desysopped.
- The edits in question are from around a year ago, and they were made in good faith to improve the article. I deny the allegations of UPE or COI.
- My edits mainly involved removing unsourced/unverifiable claims, cleaning up wording, and rewriting parts using reliable sources. Some personal claims, including marriage-related information, appeared to have questionable references, so I removed them per policy. I do not see how such edits constitute UPE or COI.
- I have also been less active recently, which is why I failed to address the concerns earlier before the block was placed. I respectfully request reconsideration of the block. Zuck28 (talk) 13:30, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
- Also disruptive editing. See this ANI thread. Bishonen | tålk 15:43, 21 May 2026 (UTC).
Request to unblock

Request reason:
I would like to request reconsideration of my block.
I deny engaging in UPE or editing on behalf of any subject. My edits were made in good faith and were focused on sourcing, cleanup, neutrality, and removal of promotional or unsourced content. Many of the diffs cited in the ANI thread are ordinary content disputes and disagreements over editorial judgment, not evidence of UPE or COI.
I understand that some of my editing patterns may have raised concerns, especially due to my involvement in AfDs and biographies, but I was acting based on policy considerations and not external influence or compensation. I also acknowledge that some of my comments may have come across as overly confrontational, and I will be more careful with tone and dispute handling going forward.
I am willing to avoid contentious areas if necessary and focus only on constructive, policy-based editing. I respectfully request that the block be reconsidered.
Thank you. Zuck28 (talk) 13:02, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This was AI generated(I get 92-100% certain from different checkers). You are blocked, not an AI, so we want to hear from you directly. Please write in your own words without the use of an AI. 331dot (talk) 09:04, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- For any future unblock requests for reviewing admins, I see the ANI thread was archived already so adding here. This is not the users first time with evidence showing the UPE behavior. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:50, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Danish Zehen.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Danish Zehen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:08, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
