Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Lux Libertas. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello Lux Libertas. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Action Society, 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:Lux Libertas. 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. Wikishovel (talk) 12:27, 30 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Good day,
 * I receive no compensation, remuneration or anything from Action Society for creating this article.
 * I am just a South African citizen who appreciates the work Action Society and Ian Cameron are doing for our country and believe that they both are noteworthy enough to deserve Wikipedia pages. Lux Libertas (talk) 19:17, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 19:19, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries. Is there perhaps other aspects regarding the page which I should address? Lux Libertas (talk) 19:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The tone is more like a magazine article than an encyclopedia. Phrases like "Cameron is pivotal in the organization's efforts..." need rewriting, for a WP:Neutral point of view. I'd be happy to help with that if you like. Wikishovel (talk) 19:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * That would be greatly appreciated and good to see for future reference for other articles :) Lux Libertas (talk) 12:01, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
