User talk:Freelancernuts

October 2020
Hello Freelancernuts. 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 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:Freelancernuts. 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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:19, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello HickoryOughtShirt?4. I hope I am using the talk section well. I don't really undertand your point to be honest. I made some edits on the page but without really think. I wasn't sure that the page will be published. I understood later that as I am a new user, my articles need to be reviwed and I discovered which template use to submit my article. I don't pay advocacy or this kind of things. I am executed a service for the company Pissed Consumer that wanted to have a page dedicaded to them on Wikipedia. I am not an employee of the company or something. Did I answer your questions? Did I do something wrong? Thank you to inform me. Freelancernuts (talk) 20:04, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. So you say above I am executed a service for the company Pissed Consumer that wanted to have a page dedicaded to them on Wikipedia.. This is exactly what I mean when I explain what WP:Paid editing on Wikipedia is. You are editing Wikipedia for someone and thus need to comply with our WP:COI guidelines.

Hi, thank you for your welcome here. So what does it means exactly? This page cannot be publish because of a conflict of interrest? If I want that this page be published or even that the company decide to do it by itself, what should be done? Freelancernuts (talk) 20:17, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Freelancernuts and thanks for the quick response. So unbeknownstly, you are actually following the rules of Wikipedia. You created a draft and have submitted it for review. This is exactly what COI editors are supposed to do. You just need to make sure the draft has adequate sourcing and is neutrally worded and it will be reviewed by a volutneer HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:18, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

You are welcome, thanks to you too. I undertand well. So shpould I stop to edit or I can continue to improve it? Freelancernuts (talk) 20:22, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes yes, please continue to improve it while also disclosing on the talk page about your conflict of interest. I will do it for you on your userpage as sometimes new users find it confusing. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:23, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
