User talk:Chalonk

January 2022
Hello Chalonk. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Ocean Insight, 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:Chalonk. 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. nearlyevil 665  17:27, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Nearlyevil, I would like to state that I am not directly or indirectly being compensated for my edits on the page Draft:Ocean Insight Chalonk (talk) 10:54, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Chalonk, do you have any affiliation with the company? S0091 (talk) 16:42, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi S0091, I do not have any affiliation with Ocean Insight. Chalonk (talk) 12:14, 22 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply, Chalonk. WP:COI and WP:PAID are not always clear to folks so that is why asked the more broad question about affiliation. S0091 (talk) 18:02, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
