Hello, I'm Toddy1. An edit that you recently made to Akola seemed to be an editing test and has been mostly removed. There were two good changes that you made, and they have been retained. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on the article talk page. Thanks!-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:25, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Info-03051995! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at List of patron saints by occupation and activity that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. -- Toddy1 (talk) 17:32, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Info-03051995. 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:Info-03051995. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Info-03051995|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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:36, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits 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:Info-03051995, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Info-03051995|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:44, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NarraSoft moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, NarraSoft, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:44, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Connection to NarraSoft?

Hi Info-03051995,

welcome to Wikipdia, and thank you for your contributions. Could you take a moment to describe your connection, if any, to NarraSoft?

Thanks and best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:15, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, ToBeFree

Yes, I am affiliated with the company. However, I did my best to make sure the article is as objective as possible and have deleted excessive citations leading to the company website. I hope this is okay with the moderators as I did my best to follow the standards. I've disclosed this affiliation on my page. Thank you, and have a great day.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1] MrOllie (talk) 13:27, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. MrOllie (talk) 14:41, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have already informed you in a separate thread that I will be removing links so as to not redirect users to the website, but will retain the citation simply because the source is valid and grounded on research. Thanks.

Advertising your employer is not appropriate in any form, live link or no. - MrOllie (talk) 14:45, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Video game art; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. freshacconci (✉) 14:46, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
