Mandatory paid editing disclosure

[edit]
Information icon

Hello MeynyLux. 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:MeynyLux. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MeynyLux|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. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:03, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, you added the tag to your user page just minutes after I posted that message. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:13, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I have deleted your draft as a copyright violation.

You wrote on the talk page of the draft: "This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I am actually writing it on behalf of my company (Kleos.space) and all the content (website, press releases, Q2 results...) belong to us. Can you add the COI mention maybe on it? How can I proceed?"

The fact that some content belongs to you doesn't mean you have the right to publish it on Wikipedia. You can publish it on sites you own or control. You don't own or control Wikipedia. The Wikimedia Foundation owns Wikipedia, and the Wikimedia Foundation has not been given permission to re-publish your copyrighted content. We cannot use the word of some random user account for permission.

Notice that ALL content on Wikipedia is licensed under a Creative Commons license (see the bottom of any page). Your material is not. Therefore any copyrighted content must be released under an acceptable free license. WP:CONSENT has details on the sort of communication required.

Also, just because the content has been properly released does not mean it can be used if it conflicts with Wikipedia's content guidelines. The draft you wrote, for example, contained promotional wording that is unacceptable here. Wikipedia cannot be used as a promotion or publicity platform; see the WP:NOTPROMOTION policy. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:11, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
