User talk:Izzat Faidhi

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:37, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Undisclosed paid editing
Hello Izzat Faidhi. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to User:Izzat Faidhi/sandbox, 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:Izzat Faidhi. 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. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:58, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am not paid to edit or write this page. It was just out of personal interest to learn about wikipedia editting when I saw a red link for said company on this page. While I was trying out some template and features, the general structure that I used was based on the following pages: Maybank, Gamuda. If it appeared that I have violated some rules it was unintentional. Hence, I have no qualms if this content is purged or to receive suggestion on what to remove to respect said rules. I also want to mention that this is my first time writing here. Once again I was not instructed or paid to put this up (it was purely my own interest to learn wikipedia editing and add value, or that is what I initially thought). My apologies on that and if this response is not complying to a standard format.Izzat Faidhi (talk) 01:25, 14 December 2021 (UTC)


 * If you are employed by this company, then that is enough for you to meet Wikipedia's definition of a paid editor. You do not have to be specifically directed or paid to write about this company. Therefore you must make the necessary disclosures if you wish to continue writing about this topic.


 * Please be aware that a company is not entitled to have Wikipedia article just because it exists. It must first meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable company to be considered worthy of inclusion. In fact, any topic on Wikipedia must be notable by Wikipedia's definition of notability, as evidenced by having significant coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources.


 * If you are editing Wikipedia purely out of personal interest, then I suggest that you write about a topic where you have no conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:00, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I will take up your suggestion to stay away from this topic since I have no obligation to do any of this besides trying out wikipedia editting. I will remove the page contents if there is nothing else. Thanks for letting me know.--Izzat Faidhi (talk) 07:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)


 * That is acceptable, thank you. I will post a formal welcome notice at the top of your talk page that contains some helpful links to learn about editing Wikipedia. Best of luck to you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:37, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
