User talk:Gordanaholjevac

Welcome!
Hello, Gordanaholjevac, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Theroadislong (talk) 12:12, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello Gordanaholjevac. 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:Gordanaholjevac. 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. Theroadislong (talk) 12:12, 1 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I assume you are referring to the introduction of the text and the newly created section Purpose. It is not paid editing and I am not about to profit in any way whatsoever if this text gets published. The intention is solely to explain the purpose of EMREX project/protocol better. Therefore, i would kindly apprecitate it if you could elaborate a little bit more precisely - why do you consider it a paid editing? Is content as such a problem (what precisely?) or the reference that I used? (I am here talking about the references 1, 2 and 3). Your help is highly appreciated. Kind regards, Gordanaholjevac.

 * Furthermore, I would like to add that I made some changes to other sections of the test later, after this conversation with you. I paid particular attention to provide additional explanation regarding drawbacks and criticism that might arise through the implementation of EMREX protocol hoping that it will make more clear that my purpose is not to earn any profit from this article, or from EMREX as such. Please bear in mind that I am a totally inexperienced in this - this the first ever article on Wikipedia that I am trying to edit - and therefore it is possible that I am making unintentional mistakes. Thefore, I would most strongly appreciate it if you could point out to the exact parts of the text (or references) that prevent is from being published for the general public so that I can focus my efforts on them and hopefully amend the unintentional mistakes that I am apparently making. Once more, I sincerely appreciate your time and effort. Gordanaholjevac (talk) 17:30, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your notification. The purpose of this text is definitely not promotion and there is absolutely no intention whatsoever of earning any profit either from the text itself or from the EMREX protocol which is, as you can see from the text itself, on voluntary basis and completely free of charge. The sole purpose is to inform the general public about EMREX and, as you can also see from the text, the information also includes drawbacks and criticism related to the protocol, which should, I believe, be quite a substantial proof that there is no intention of promoting anyone or anything. However, since I am, I admit it, quite inexperienced in writing Wikipedia articles (this being my first), there might be a possibility that I am making some unintentional mistakes while creating this article, along with it references. Since I am a bit in the dark about this whole 'this sounds like a promotion' thing, I would more than highly appreciate it if you could be a bit more precise and point out to the exact parts of the text and/or to the exact references that cause you doubts regarding my intention.Unfortunately, general instructions still leave me in the dark. Thank you for your time and effort. Gordanaholjevac (talk) 07:17, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You say "The sole purpose is to inform the general public about EMREX ' that is pretty much the definition of advertising here. Theroadislong (talk) 07:41, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I meant to say that the purpose was strictly to provide information (as I believe any article or any topic here does - I used the term 'general public' referring to the fact that anyone with internet access can read a Wikipedia article for free). The purpose is not to earn money, or to encourage individuals or institutions who have not used the EMREX protocol so far to start using it, or to make the EMREX protocol more popular or to raise awareness in a sense that such an awareness would make it more popular among the individuals or institutions that might be eligible for using it. The intention is to define what EMREX is, how it works, who uses it and to provide a balanced view of its benefits and drawbacks. That's it. Gordanaholjevac (talk) 07:56, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
