Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, CleeMOL. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page User:CleeMOL/sandbox, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Longhair\talk 08:48, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello CleeMOL. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to User:CleeMOL/sandbox, 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:CleeMOL. 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. Longhair\talk 08:49, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Reply: Hello Longhair, thank you for your feedback. I would like to clarify I have no stake in this company. Additionally, I have referenced on how to present the article. Hence, more clarification would be appreciated on where have I gone wrong and how I can improve the article. My external links were just to corroborate it is notable as media as mentioned us. Appreciate your advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CleeMOL (talk • contribs)


 * I am now curious about your choice of username since you state you have "no stake in this company". I assume MOL stands for Marine Online? You then go on to say "it is notable as media has mentioned us"? "Us", meaning Marine Online? Please disclose your paid editing or you'll be blocked for failing to do so thanks. -- Longhair\talk 09:56, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Reply: By your definition of "paid editing", my employer is Marine Online (Singapore) Pte Ltd, which I am officially disclosing. Apart from that, kindly advise if there are any other conditions I missed in qualifying my article to be published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CleeMOL (talk • contribs)


 * As an editor with a conflict of interest you are not permitted to create or edit any articles for which a conflict of interest is present. Please review the links above relating to WP:COI and WP:PAID. Further, "having no stake" implies no association with the company whatsoever, which is not true. Wikipedia is not for the promotion of any topic, and is only interested in articles on companies that meet the notability guidelines who have received significant coverage in reliable sources. -- Longhair\talk 10:43, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Longhair\talk 08:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
