Undisclosed paid editing
Hello Christine Lian. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Global Forum on Human Settlements, 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:Christine Lian. 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. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 03:21, 12 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, thanks for your reply. There is absolutely no financial stake in promoting the topic. I just want to present what is true and what has really been done by the organization. So, can should I move on to submit the article through Articles for creation? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christine Lian (talk • contribs)


 * Before I reply, please ensure to put your posts at the bottom of the section, so the discussion flows in the correct chronological order. Also, please sign your posts at the end of your comments using four tilde characters ( ~ ); which will mark your post with your username as well as the date and time. This is necessary so that we can see who said what and when. Now, continuing on...


 * There is evidence outside of Wikipedia that you have a professional affiliation with the organization you're writing about. If you are an employee of this organization, then you are by Wikipedia's definition a paid editor. This disclosure is mandatory under Wikipedia's terms of use and policy on paid editing.


 * If you are not compensated for your position, then you still have a conflict of interest (COI). While COI editing is not prohibited outright, it is highly discouraged, due to the difficulty in writing from the required neutral point of view.


 * You should also be aware that Wikipedia does not accept articles about organizations just because they exist. They have to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable organization. An organization is considered notable if it has gained a significant amount of in-depth coverage from multiple sources that are both reliable and independent of the organization itself. This definition applies equally to for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations; Wikipedia makes no distinction between the two.


 * We have no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself. That's why self-published sources such as press releases, social media and interviews with key personnel are disqualified as sources. Such content is often done with the intent to advertise/promote/publicize the organization, which is not allowed here. A lot of COI editors don't realize that "ensuring awareness" or "posting facts" about an organization is still promotion if it's not sourced reliably and written neutrally.


 * You can try your hand at Articles for Creation, but only after providing all the necessary disclosures about your affiliation. After that, you will have to show the evidence of significant coverage from third-party sources in your submission. Good luck. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:53, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Christine Lian/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Christine Lian/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=User%3AChristine_Lian%2Fsandbox&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1 and https://city2city.network/ten-un-agencies-joined-15th-global-forum-human-settlements. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
