This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  Acroterion   (talk)   12:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, I do not understand your warning.
 * 1 - I was tring to setup a page for a company, wherein I have browsed pages of 25+ companies, small and big, and then learnt the key acceptable aspects to write on a company page.
 * 2 - Unfortunately, since this is the first page I am ever writing, by mistake, instead of creating a new page, I published on my User Page, yesterday.
 * 3 - To correct my error, in the next few days, I will publish it as a page, and delete from the User Page. Since my IP is blocked for unknown reasons, I have to wait for this, otherwise, would have immediately corrected the error.
 * 4 - If you may see any specific issue, error, pl do let me know, I will be glad to address it.
 * 5 - However, request that you don't use your superior position (with more rights, etc) in Wikipedia to block me as a User without due diligence, I am not a criminal but an educated person with a PhD degree, and be rest assured I am not wanting to go against Wikipedia values and guidelines, which I have read in detail.

Hello Abhinav Pandey PMG. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:PMG Engineering, 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 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 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:Abhinav Pandey PMG. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, I can see that you've included a generic COI disclosure on Draft:PMG Engineering. However, it is in the wrong place, that template belongs on your user page instead. (Alternatively, you can place a COI disclosure on the talk page of every article/draft to which your COI applies, but that is done using a different template.)
 * Furthermore, you are clearly an employee of the business you are writing about, and that means that you need to disclose a more specific COI, using the paid-editing template described above.
 * Therefore, please remove the current disclosure template from the draft, and add the paid-editing one to your user page. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. I have drawn any remuneration from the company for last 3 years. I am the founder of the business, so I put the COI. But I am currently a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorke, India. Could you suggest on the correct action plan?
 * What is the ethical wikipedia-correct way to make a page for the company which is a significant player in the Food and Beverage industry and in operation since 10 years? I studied 25+ company pages, and have accordingly drafted the content. Abhinav Pandey PMG (talk) 10:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * correction *I haven't drawn any remuneration from the company in the last 3 years. Abhinav Pandey PMG (talk) 10:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Why do you have 'PMG' in your username? That clearly implies a connection, that you're editing as a representative of the business.
 * Besides, whether you have "drawn any remuneration" is not the only way you can come under our paid-editing rules. Being the founder of the business presumably means you have something to gain, financially and otherwise, from promoting it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Since Abhinav Pandey was taken, I added PMG for I wanted to create a page PMG Engineering.
 * As it has been deemed that this page is not suitable for wikipedia, fine, we shall drop the efforts. Abhinav Pandey PMG (talk) 11:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
