User talk:CFO Official RV Garcia

Welcome!
Hello, CFO Official, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Commission on Filipinos Overseas, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 03:42, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here:.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here:.

Thank you. Salvio giuliano 08:46, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello CFO Official RV Garcia! Your additions to Commission on Filipinos Overseas have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:22, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi and a pleasant day. Those text that you mentioned that were removed are from the CFO website (www.cfo.gov.ph) .  As a Philippine government agency, all our information that we posted in our website are public domain and per our IP laws, all works of the of the government does not fall under any copyright since we are a government institution.  Hence, may I kindly request that you revert and return those text that you remove. Thank you. CFO Official RV Garcia (talk) 06:54, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Even leaving aside the alleged copyright issue(I think the main issue is you placed large texts), Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves(be it government or otherwise). Wikipedia is primarily interested in what independent reliable sources say about a topic. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Notability and conflict of interest
Thank you for your contributions. It appears that you have created or edited an article about a company or organization. However, the following problems exist with your submission: I'm sorry that this message was not more favourable. If you require more assistance, please consult the Help Desk or the Teahouse for new editors. Thank you for your cooperation, and best of luck with your future edits. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:43, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Wikipedia requires that organizations meet its notability criteria to be deemed worthy of inclusion. It means this organization must have already been the subject of significant coverage by multiple sources that are both reliable and independent of the organization itself. Organization-authored sources (such as press releases, interviews and social media) are defined as self-published and therefore not reliable. Perennial sources is a good place to find out which sources are deemed reliable and which are not.
 * 2) If you have a personal or professional involvement with the organization you are writing about, then you have a conflict of interest (COI). COI editors are not prohibited from contributing, but are highly discouraged to do so, due to the inherent difficulty of writing from the required neutral point of view. Please note that writing with the intention to promote or publicize anything or anyone is strictly prohibited. In addition, if you are being paid directly or indirectly to write about a subject on Wikipedia, then you must disclose this information per Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing policy.
