Hello Chiulander. 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:Chiulander. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Chiulander|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) 21:04, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi 331dot, Theroadislong, & Slywriter - I am not being paid to write the Malecare page. Thanks! Chiulander (talk) 16:33, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- You didn't edit about Malecare by chance. Do you have any association with it whatsoever? 331dot (talk) 16:37, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
No association - not a member or employed by them at all. Just trying to write an article to build up my portfolio and this is my first time trying to write on Wiki. :) Chiulander (talk) 16:53, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- As I said, you didn't edit about them by chance. How did you come to write about them? You said in an edit summary "I've already received approval by previous authors regarding this new content". Whom did you solicit and get approval from? 331dot (talk) 18:08, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
I have approval from the founder of Malecare. I found them through Catchafire and thought that it would be nice to volunteer my writing. I'm trying to build up my writing portfolio, and not sure how else to prove that I'm not being paid or benefitting -- aside from having a piece of writing published in a public forum. Is the Malecare entry too promotional? I tried to make it as neutral as possible, with decent reliable sources, and did my best to address the reviewer comments in my edits.
Not trying to be contentious or passive-aggressive at all. I totally get that you have to perform due diligence as I'm sure there's a lot of muck that comes your way. But I'm just trying to get my writing out there without prior clips, and thought that I could do that by helping some more obscure non-profits.
If the entry or my above rationale is unacceptable, feel free to just reject/delete. I'm not getting paid for it, so at this point my time has to be worth something (and yours as well). Chiulander (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- I'm very curious as to why you said you had no association but now say you solicited approval from the founder of the organization you wrote about(who actually cannot grant or deny approval to write about their organization here). Do you not see communication with the founder of the organization as an association? That is concerning.
- In any event, much of your draft is unsourced, and the sources that are offered are brief mentions. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about an organization and what it does. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. Please see Your First Article. I highly urge you to declare a conflict of interest, please see WP:COI. 331dot (talk) 20:17, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
