User talk:JDSAI360

March 2024
Hello JDSAI360. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to SAI360, 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 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 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:JDSAI360. 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. Sam Kuru (talk) 20:52, 26 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello. Thanks for clarifying. I work for SAI360 as a content editor. Correct, I am being paid technically to perform the updates. I was asked to edit our page as part of my job. Is this something that can be disclosed in the Wikipedia post? Let me know what do so we make sure to follow the guidelines correctly. I wasn't aware of that. Thank you!

 * The first step is to get that paid editing disclosure up on your user page; that's required by our terms of service. Second, it's best practice for editors with a significant conflict of interest to use the article's talk page to propose changes. Other editors can evaluate the proposals and make the changes for you. The material that you were adding was pretty far over the line - this is not the kind of place where content marketing is allowed. Material needs to be sourced to reliable, third-party sources, not in-house press releases and pitches. I know your company is putting you in a bad spot, sorry.

 * Thanks for clarifying. I understand now. We will make those changes. JDSAI360 (talk) 14:08, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
