Hello ELearning.ASU. The nature of your edits 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 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 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:ELearning.ASU. 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello DoubleGrazing,
 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I want to clarify that I do not have any undisclosed financial stake or receive compensation for my edits on Wikipedia. I am committed to abiding by Wikipedia's guidelines and policies.
 * I appreciate your diligence in ensuring transparency and compliance with the rules. If you have any further questions or if there's anything specific I need to address, please let me know. I am happy to provide any necessary information to resolve this matter.
 * Best regards,
 * eLEarning Department atASU ASU (talk) 09:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Firstly, please don't use AI tools to generate your messages.
 * Secondly, I'm assuming that the 'ASU' in your username means the A'Sharqiyah University? In which case, you self-evidently have a financial interest in this subject. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:11, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Dear DoubleGrazing,
 * Thank you for your response and consideration. After i read creation article guidelines, i would like to request your help in creation ASngwikipWdia pages.
 * Please, could you explain what's different between paid and non-paid users?
 * Regards, ASU (talk) 10:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If you are employed by the organisation that you are writing about, you come under the paid-editing rules. They among other things require you to make a formal disclosure of your paid-editing status, as detailed above. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm working at this education institution; the thing is, how will I come under the paid editing rules? ASU (talk) 12:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what it is that you don't understand. You work at the university. You are editing a draft about the university. That means you have a direct conflict of interest (COI) in what comes to that subject. And this COI is of a specific type, namely paid editing. You must make a formal disclosure of that COI, as required by our terms and conditions of use. Otherwise you may be blocked from editing.
 * If there is something in that which you do not understand, please ask. Otherwise make the necessary disclosure as your very next edit. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of A'Sharqiyah University


A tag has been placed on A'Sharqiyah University, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.asu.edu.om/Page/Details/26?Learning%20Resource%20Centre. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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.

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Secretlondon (talk) 08:30, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
