Edits at Viber
In this edit to the Viber article, you have replaced functioning references with improperly formatted citations. This indicates that you may not be familiar with editing at Wikipedia. I recommend that you start with the Help:Introduction page to become more familiar with the editing environment so that you don't continue to break the formatting of pages.

Hello CKWiki1818. 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:CKWiki1818. 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) 08:40, 13 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I am a content writer at Viber and I am editing the page according to updates I am receiving from the company. Any statements that are seemingly biased, I am happy to leave out but the rest are sourced. Please advise why some third party articles are not considered as approved sources. I will add my status to my user page. CKWiki1818 (talk) 09:13, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you; if by that you mean that you are employed by Viber, you need to state that(as opposed to, say, being a volunteer).
 * You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is for. It is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and what they do(such as their routine business activities).  Wikipedia is for summarizing what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about a topic. Wikipedia is not interested in the routine business activities of the company(such as those described in this edit).  We're interested in what independent reliable sources choose on their own(not based on materials put out by the company or prompted by the company) to say about the company. What do independent sources choose to say is significant about your company?  That's what we are looking for.
 * You should avoid directly editing about your company in most cases; instead, please make formal edit requests(click for instructions) on the article talk page. 331dot (talk) 09:28, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit request

 * Specific text to be removed: The company was run from Israel, with much of its development outsourced to Belarus in order to lower labor costs
 * Reason for the change: in order to lower labor costs: There is no proof that this is the reason, it's not factual and we don't have a source for it therefore we think it should be removed.
 * References supporting change: There are no references because there is no proof.
 * You need to make edit requests on the article talk page of the relevant article. 331dot (talk) 10:22, 18 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't understand, I went to the tab on the top of the Viber page where its written "talk". Where is the talk page then? Can you please provide me with a link or tell me how to find it? CKWiki1818 (talk) 11:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit request
I've disabled your requests, again, you must make them on the article talk page, Talk:Viber. I would suggest only doing one or two at a time. 331dot (talk) 10:31, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Specific text to be changed: It began doing so in 2013, via user payments for Viber Out voice calling and the Viber graphical messaging "sticker store"
 * Reason for the change: "sticker store" needs to be changed to "sticker market". This is how it is written on Viber.
 * References supporting change: Screenshots of how it is written on the Viber app are attached to this request in this link: https://imgur.com/a/7JO0Npy


 * I don't understand, I went to the tab on the top of the Viber page where its written "talk". Where is the talk page then? Can you please provide me with a link or tell me how to find it? CKWiki1818 (talk) 11:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I provided a direct link in my last post, Talk:Viber. I think the "talk" you clicked was the one by your username, not the Talk tab at the top of the article text(which is near the top of the screen but not at the very top). 331dot (talk) 12:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
