User talk:Flutter Dev

January 2023
Hello Flutter Dev. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Flutter (software), 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:Flutter Dev. 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. 331dot (talk) 10:11, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm definitely not compensated for edits... I would but I don't :)
 * I undid the changes made by someone called "MrOllie" and justified the expediency of my contribution to the article.
 * After that, the user "ProClasher97" wrote about "Managing a conflict of interest".
 * After a short reply from me: "I've just added information that seems valuable to me",
 * This person replied: "Because Flutter is a software program and not necessarily a company/organization, COI doesn’t really apply here.)"
 * After that, I thought that the conflict was solved and returned my text again.
 * I love Wikipedia, I was super-inspired after the speech of Jimmy Wales at Web Summit in 2020 and created an account.
 * The framework I use every day - Flutter - was updated last week and I just checked the Flutter article on Wikipedia.
 * I noticed that the part about IDEs missing some valuable information so I edited it...
 * I really don't understand the intensity of editors/admins activity in this case. Is Wikipedia a free encyclopedia for everyone?
 * You say: "gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic". What topic/company are you talking about? I mentioned 5 tools there... 5 tools me/my colleagues use all the time. Flutter Dev (talk) 10:55, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * So I asked the question because "Flutter Dev" suggests to me that you worked on developing this software. If that's not the case, please disregard the question. 331dot (talk) 10:58, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm a Flutter programmer in a Ukrainian outsourcing IT company called Pettersson Apps. I'm not developing the Flutter framework myself.
 * Can you please return my contribution?
 * Because If I'll click the "undo" link again, 2 more admins will write me in a minute :) Flutter Dev (talk) 11:04, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * As your edit is in dispute, you shouldn't restore it without a consensus to do so, developed on the article talk page in a discussion with other editors. If a discussion fails to resolve the dispute, there are channels of dispute resolution available. 331dot (talk) 11:07, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. Maybe it's a stupid question, but should this discussion in the talk page be created by me? I'm not a true Wikipedian yet. I'm just a programmer who wanted to contribute, so I'm uninformed about all formalities.
 * Thanks Flutter Dev (talk) 11:28, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, you may begin the discussion. 331dot (talk) 11:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
