Hello, I'm Ravensfire. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Emmad Irfani, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Ravensfire  (talk) 05:13, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia articles depend on reliable sources to support information in articles. These ideally are published in good quality sources (not blogs, forums, tabloid sites), but reputable sites with good track record.  One of the core pillars of Wikipedia is that readers can verify the information in articles.  That's where this issue is coming from - there is a DOB for 1980 published in a reputable source.  If Irfani has a verified social media profile, posting something there usually will work as a source for that information as long as it's basic biographical information.  As a WP:PRIMARY source, Wikipedia only uses it in limited circumstances.
 * You also need to read WP:PAID and WP:COI, as you absolutely fall into those categories. As a paid contributor, there are declarations that you MUST made, and are explained on that page.  This is required by the Terms of Use you agree to every time you make and edit, so they are absolutely required. I'm going to leave a standard template for the paid contributor as it does have more information.  Ravensfire  (talk) 18:03, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello Belter08. 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 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:Belter08. 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.  Ravensfire  (talk) 18:04, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
