Hi,

My name is Roland Berg Lie and I am currently employed by Hill+Knowlton Strategies working on behalf of a variety of clients. I am looking forward to contributing to the site.

I wish to make clear that any contributions, comments or edits (if appropriate) will be done so in strict accordance with Wikipedia’s guidelines on Transparency and Conflict of Interest.

The clients for whom I will be representing on activities on Wikipedia currently include:

ACWA Power

I would welcome any additional guidance the editors of the site can provide. And if there are any questions or concerns regarding the transparency or nature of the activities I am undertaking, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Non-free images

Per WP:NFCC #9 - non-free images may not be used outside article space (and only in the article(s) for which a valid rationale is present). Edit warring to repeatedly violate our non-free content rules as you have been doing at User:Rolandberglie HK/sandbox is disruptive behaviour and may lead to sanctions if you do not desist. Wikipedia takes copyright and its Non-free content regulations very seriously and persistent offenders may be blocked from editing. -- Begoon 13:18, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I was under the belief that as this was an edit of the original article - it would be ok. However - I will have a purely text edition when working on an article in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rolandberglie HK (talk • contribs) 13:28, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The edit summary of each of the three edits you reverted was "WP:NFCC#9: Non-free files are only permitted in articles" which includes an information link. You should pay attention to explanatory information such as this since it is provided to assist you and help you to avoid infringing policy. -- Begoon 13:43, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Emirates Global Aluminium

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Emirates_Global_Aluminium

Hi!

Thanks for the input. However, to be clear, I know that the page is Wikipedia's and not a company page. What I tried to convey was that the company would like to contribute to the accuracy of the page whithout the page being flagged as COI. This is why we proposed some minimal changes and updates - providing solid credentials and sources. We also said that given a choice, we would rather leave the page be than have a flagged page. That is the only preference mentioned, and that is the companys privelege - to remove editions thus removing a COI tag.

So, you reverted all the changes. Does this mean that you respected the company's wishes in not flagging COI and reverted, did you revert on pure principal or did you revert the proposed editions because the sources were not adequate. In any case, as a result the quality of the reverted page is lowered.

For the past two months - we have had a proposed change in the "talk" section of the page - hoping that someone not connected to the company would revise and set our proposed changes into effect - but no such luck. What would be a viable strategy for us when wanting to improve the quality of the article - without doing the changes ourselves?

Please WP:SIGN your posts on talk pages.
The company has no "privelege" on wikipedia, either on its own article, or anyone else's - you should understand that from the outset.
The reasons for my revert were in my edit-summary - my main problem is that the sources are WP:PRIMARY. Consensus will determine if it is usable - you should wait for consensus on the talk page.
As an aside, the tone of your edit summary sounded like some kind of attempted 'negotiation' where you dictated terms for whether all or part of your edit(s) may be kept or reverted. You need to be aware that every time you click save/publish on this website you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. It may be retained, altered or reverted in whole or in part, or any combination of these things, and it may be freely re-used under the CC license. If you do not agree to these terms you should not click save/publish...
If you are not getting a timely reaction to a proposed change you may tag your talk-page post with {{Request edit}}. Read the link to understand how to use it.
I'm going to post below the standard welcome message for COI editors - you should read it, and the material it links, carefully. Hopefully that should answer most questions you will have. -- Begoon 14:01, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

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. Begoon 14:02, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The editions were purely factual without a goal of promoting or marketing. There were no additions in the proposed changes. This was also why COI was flagged both in my profile and in the "talk section". We will propose a "request edit". Thank you! Rolandberglie HK (talk) 14:13, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I realise that you have declared your COI, thank you for that. As I indicated, my second message was the "standard" boiler-plate COI message to give you all of the relevant links easily, so it repeated parts of which you were already aware. Thank you for taking the time to read it. -- Begoon 14:20, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Emirates Global Aluminium

Hi! I noticed that you posted a edit request on Emirates Global Aluminium. I just wanted to let you know that I moved it to its talk page per what it says on Template:Request_edit/Instructions#For submitters (It says, "To request an edit to an article where you have a conflict of interest, go to the talk page of that article, and start a new section at the bottom of the page. Put {{request edit}} at the top of the new section, below the new heading."). Another editor should come to help you with the request soon. Thank you!
