A tag has been placed on PlayScore requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Heinzr99. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, colleagues, 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. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 15:16, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Optical music recognition, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Heinzr99, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Heinzr99|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Padgriffin Griffin's Nest 03:30, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have said before that the PlayScore article was not well written. To get 'the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic' takes a special mindset though.

I state hereby that I am not directly of indirectly compensated for my edits. I am retired and not employed, and have no client or other affiliation with any company.

To include my edit on Optical music recognition in a suggestion of financial stake is beyond the pale. The edit included 'PlayScore' in a list of commercial OMR products - that is all, and it is an easily verifiable fact. It was made in November 2019. For a little background: (1) I have spent a substantial amount of time working on optical music recognition. (2) Have a look at the directory - you will find me listed there. You will find a number of my postings on that site. (3) The topic of one posting was 'Assessing PlayScore' - I had got to know the product, became a paying user, and wrote about it, since it was relatively new and not well known. (4) I was invited to deliver the keynote at the Workshop on Reading Music System in 2019 (agenda), and talked about PlayScore there as well. Heinzr99 (talk) 23:55, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
