Hello Chaimamine. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Hicham Lasri, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Chaimamine. 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. TheseusHeLl (talk) 15:41, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello TheseusHeLl, I am not paid to do these changes, and I am not advocating for anything other than what is true and verified through links and sources of great quality. I would love to discuss sources but at this point it seems like you are discussing my integrity, and I don't understand where your doubts are stemming from, if only I "invented" something that doesn't exist, but I didn't. Please let me update the article and I would gladly discuss my sources but nothing else.
 * Hey Chaimamine, you said in my userpage that you are "Hicham's assistant and run everything by him before publishing, naturally.". This means that you have a Conflict of interest in writing about him. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but this is how wikipedia works. If you're not paid to do these changes, please check out WP:COIEDIT and WP:DCOI. -TheseusHeLl (talk) 17:06, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

I am not paid, nor asked to do these things, but I am very qualified to do them. Also, if you can't contest my sources, I don't see what the problem is here exactly? Note that the page the way you left it is not up to date and I can update it, so what is the problem here, really?
 * I am not paid, nor asked to do these things, but I am very qualified to do them.
 * In what sense you are very qualified to do them?
 * Also, if you can't contest my sources, I don't see what the problem is here exactly?
 * My problem is not in you sources, it's the tone of your edits. And the fact that you are his assistant and you're still denying it
 * Things like "Since the age of 16, Hicham Lasri was a compulsive storyteller. Growing up and developing his craft in a country that does not value individuality, he was always welcomed with a “what the fuck?” Face but that only meant more fun for him" and "...are three novels about many different things but what your average fourth cover will not tell you is that they are intricate ravings that serve as the steel beams to Lasri’s fictional universe." and "....that we know for sure: the internet loves it!" and "To this day, his movies escape the clichés usually found in North African cinema, and we are happy to say: no Arab was ever a terrorist in a Lasri movie, which is a post 9/11 rarity." are unencyclopedic and reveals that you are here to publicize him. Just don't deny your work and put the changes you want to make in your Sandbox or in the article's talk page. -TheseusHeLl (talk) 17:57, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
