 * Information.svg Hello IsraelTechnophile. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:IsraelTechnophile. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message.  ...SerialNumber 54129 ...speculates 12:44, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Roboteam, you may be blocked from editing. SmartSE (talk) 21:34, 7 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I was very sorry to see that you defined my writing as Promotional. I made every effort to write valid encyclopedic entries in line with Wikipedia's guidelines and I believe that these entries met the notability benchmark (As evidenced by press coverage provided in my citations). Can you offer me any specific feedback on how the language/contents of my entries were promotional and perhaps suggest what steps I can take to remedy their shortcomings?

 * Please answer the question above about whether you are being paid to edit here. Thank you SmartSE (talk) 13:14, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I openly declared being paid in the talk of the deleted entries as soon as I posted them - I assume you have access to the talk of the deleted pages. It was my understanding, following a careful reading of Wikipedia guidelines, that this declaration was my only obligation in this regard, and that this should not disqualify the articles provided I met the other requirements of the guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IsraelTechnophile (talk • contribs)


 * So you did. I'm afraid that I am unwilling to spend my volunteering time advising you how to earn money to add more corporate junk into Wikipedia. SmartSE (talk) 13:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)


 * It may take less time to delete an entry rather than giving the author, or other contributors to Wikipedia, a chance to remedy perceived shortcomings but this hardly seems conducive to implementing the Wikepedia vision. Other paid Corporate entries including but not limited to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chicago_Council_on_Global_Affairs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:SAE_International#Possible_Conflict_of_Interest and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Applied_Materials have received feedback and editing contributions which treated the subject of the entry and its contents on its own merits, rather than automatically stereotyping them as "Corporate Junk". Unless you view my entries as being deficient in their notability (as you have not made that claim I assume that you do not), I respectfully ask that if you do not have the time or interest to provide editing contributions, you give other members of the Wikipedia community the chance to do so.
