Do you also understand that the mandatory paid editing disclosure policy requires you to visibly disclose every article you create or edit in exchange for payment? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:33, 29 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Of course. Not a problem.
 * At present, I have one paid contract to create and edit a page on martial arts Grandmaster Yuanming Zhang whom I have provided occasional paid translation and interpretation services to over the last 25 years. Davidcharlesboyd (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Very well. An admin will review your unblock when one is available.
 * Please also be aware that an article's topic must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria to be considered worthy of inclusion. This requires the topic to already have significant coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources. In the specific case of a person, there are more refined notability criteria for people, and even stricter requirements for biographies of living persons. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:15, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I think this is just a misunderstanding. I am a published author and scholar.  I contributed 90 entries to the Routledge Encyclopedia of Chinese History.  I would like to contribute to and enhance existing entries related to Asia.  I am more than happy to contribute and make edits to existing articles for a few months until I get used to Wikipedia.  At some point, when the administrative staff feels I am ready, I have been asked to contribute one paid entry.  There is no rush to complete this.  Regardless, I would still like to begin contributing to Wikipedia.  Please unblock my account. Davidcharlesboyd (talk) 13:40, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
