Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, GoranDakovic. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, 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 WP: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. drt1245 (talk) 18:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOUI_JS_signature_icon_LTR.svg located above the edit window.

Just leaving you some tips! --- Possibly (talk) 19:05, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Special:Contributions/2A02:A03F:6838:F600:0:0:0:0/64 Cabayi (talk) 13:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello GoranDakovic. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, 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:GoranDakovic. 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. --- Possibly (talk) 19:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia, I am not completely sure how this works but the page of ENQA is full of errors. When I try to update it, it keeps reverting back so I give up on doing this. Nevertheless, it is a simple fact that the data provided on ENQA are at least 10 years old. How do I know that? Well a simple check of their website would tell you that.
 * Thanks. Do you work for ENQA, are you connected to them or are you being paid by them? --- Possibly (talk) 18:32, 16 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes my name is Goran Dakovic and I work there. I obviously do not mind if anyone else updates the page, but someone should do it. All in all, I believe it is in interest of wider public, especially students and higher education sector in Europe and European Higher Education Area, that this page contains correct data. I read all about Wikipedia's policy on not updating your own pages, but who should I now find to update ENQA's page in English and French? We certainly have no interest in paying someone else to present correct data via Wikipedia. Please consider deleting the page if you do not allow for updates, as misleading and wrong information are to no one's use. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoranDakovic (talk • contribs)
 * Thanks. Please make the proper "paid editor" disclosure at your user page, as mentioned above.--- Possibly (talk) 18:49, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

So I should add this at the end of ENQA's page, is this correct?

Or like this:


 * Thanks, either one of those is good. You are now in compliance with our COI policy. You can make small, factual edits to the ENQA page directly. I suggest going slow. If you add claims, you need sources to back them up. If you want to add a huge section of text ,you should probably ask at the talk page for the article. Best of luck.--- Possibly (talk) 19:04, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
