User talk:Ironside160

November 2021
Hello Ironside160. 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:Ironside160. 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. MrOllie (talk) 21:15, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello MrOllie, I am NOT compensated for my edits. Ironside160 (talk) 21:20, 14 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Are you associated with the nonprofit in some other way? All of your editing so far has been about this group. MrOllie (talk) 21:21, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I am associated but NOT compensated. As someone who is knowledgeable in the industry I felt it was imperative I keep the articles up to date. Upon reviewing my content you'll notice my postings are unbiased and pertain to solely informing the general public of a major cause combating these horrific crimes. If you feel I am being biased, I implore you to please authentic my posts and repost them yourself. This is a global issue that requires global cooperation. Thank you for your speedy responses.

 * Please review our guidelines on conflict of interest editing, linked above. You have been adding external links (which do not meet our guidelines at WP:EL) and writing about this organization in inappropriate places. As an editor with a conflict of interest, you should not write about this organization in article space yourself. Instead, you should make suggestions on talk pages so unconflicted editors may review. - MrOllie (talk) 21:34, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for informing me on this matter. I will familiarize myself and going forward refer to Talk pages. Please do note though, this is a nonprofit cause, NOT a for profit. There isn't a conflict of interest in trying to better the world. I understand what you're referring to but the nature of the post is positive. There is no ill intent in the nature of the cause. Nonetheless, thank you for all of your help. I hope you have a great rest of your day. Stay safe and healthy! Ironside160 (talk) 21:49, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia's guidelines and policies draw no distinction between for profit and not for profit causes. Every non-profit has an interest in promoting itself and its work, this can be in conflict with Wikipedia's goals. We don't have an external link or complimentary text about greenpeace on our article about whaling, for example, even if one might tend to agree with their goals.

 * Could you please inform me of how I can go about another person creating a page for Atlantic Counter Trafficking? There has unfortunately been a great disservice to anti trafficking efforts since Atlantic Counter Trafficking has now been completely deleted from the public eye on wiki. As you seem incredibly knowledgeable on wiki, I would greatly appreciate your help on this matter to keep a positive impact on humanity. Ironside160 (talk) 22:11, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * You can find information about how to draft and submit new articles at WP:AFC and Help:Your first article. You'll have to be able to present at least three independent, reliable sources such as articles in major newspapers that are primarily about the organization. - MrOllie (talk) 22:24, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
