User talk:Baughduro

September 2023
Hello Baughduro. 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:Baughduro. 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. 331dot (talk) 09:39, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Baughduro, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 10:44, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I apologize for the inconvenience, I did try and reply to you, but the User talk page appeared unresponsive after several tries. You can check out the page User:Baughduro, I have disclosed the requested info for your clarification. Hope the recent contribution to Wikipedia could be sustained. Please feel free to ask more questions for further clarification. Thanks Baughduro (talk) 10:48, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You have now disclosed, thank you. As you have a conflict of interest, you should not directly place the draft in the encyclopedia, you should submit it for a review.  Right now, if you were to submit it, it would not be accepted, as the draft just summarizes the routine business activities of the bank; instead, it should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the bank, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization.  Writing a new article is the most difficult task to perform on Wikipedia even without a conflict of interest, it's harder with one.  You must set aside everything you know about the bank and all materials it puts out, and all discussion of its routine activities, and only summarize what others say is important/significant/influential about the bank. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 10:52, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:BOSS and have your superiors and/or client read it too. 331dot (talk) 10:53, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
