May 2023

Hi Mlennon1! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor 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. Grayfell (talk) 20:58, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Is this about a specific edit? Is there something I should do to resolve this, or just be careful moving forward? Thanks! Mlennon1 (talk) 21:00, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. Since you asked, this edit was not minor, but it's not a huge deal. Thanks, and welcome. Grayfell (talk) 23:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! Mlennon1 (talk) 02:45, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing

Hello Mlennon1. 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:Mlennon1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mlennon1|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. Theroadislong (talk) 18:50, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Smart Communications (software company) (May 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Alpha3031 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Smart Communications (software company) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Smart Communications (software company) (July 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Greenman was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Smart Communications (software company) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Smart Communications (software company) (August 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Johannes Maximilian was:

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has some obvious issues, for example, it is categorised as a US software company, but the lede reads "headquartered in Elstee, England, UK". Most references also refer to sources that are very obviously not proper secondary sources.

Paid editing

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 14:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. I take transparency and compliance with Wikipedia's policies very seriously.

In May of 2023, I posted the notice on my user page, and I also asked the editor chat IRC to review the notices, and they said it met the proper standards. I thought the issue was resolved back in May.

I'll post here too:

Disclosure of paid editing

As disclosed on my user page, I, Mlennon1, have been paid by Espresso B2B Marketing on behalf of Smart Communications for my contributions to this article. I am committed to transparency and compliance with Wikipedia's policies. Any edits I make are intended to improve the article's quality and accuracy, and I welcome feedback from other editors.

Please let me know if there are any further improvements or additional information that you believe should be included. Thanks again Mlennon1 (talk) 21:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It might be helpful if you listed the actual articles or drafts that you are being paid to edit. Theroadislong (talk) 21:06, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
