Orphaned non-free image File:GP Schafer Architect logo.jpg

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:GP Schafer Architect logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:57, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Skyword3000. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Les Borsai, 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:Skyword3000. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Skyword3000|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. --- Possibly (talk) 19:54, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Possibly. I'm actually a friend of Les's and felt he should have a page. I'm aware of the importance of notability in creating Wikipedia pages but I thought he met the criteria since he's been written about in prominent publications, manages Wynnona Judd and has founded/co-founded several companies. Your tag also questioned accuracy but I was pretty careful to use only sourced material. My apologies if I have done something wrong, I'm fairly new at this.Skyword3000 (talk)
HI. See the COI rules. Per WP:Draftify, I'm sending your article to AFC where it will be reviewed. I'll leave you some info on how to make the proper COI disclosures.--- Possibly (talk) 21:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Were you paid to create the article, yes or no?--- Possibly (talk) 21:29, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Skyword3000. 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. --- Possibly (talk) 21:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Les Borsai moved to draftspace

[edit]

After your COI disclosure, it's clear that this article needs to go through AFC. I've sent it to draft and you just need to press the submit button, after which it will be reviewed by an impartial editor. --- Possibly (talk) 21:22, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
