Mandatory paid editing disclosure
Hello Melazzouzi. 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:Melazzouzi. 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. Jytdog (talk) 19:34, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Jytdog,


 * I just received your messages related to the updates I proposed on articles related to Medical Devices and IEC 62304.
 * First, I am not paid by anyone to put links on articles. I just reviewed Wiki content on those pages and thought it would be beneficial to link that to some articles that provide value to the readers.
 * If you think the articles listed on easymedicaldevice.com are not valuable, please remove those links. I am not here to promote anything but to provide value.


 * Medical Devices regulation is changing in Europe with the new MDR 2017/745. I see that the medical device articles doesn't talk about that at all. Wikipedia is a place where people are coming to look for the right information and I just try to put my contribution to it.
 * I listed the new regulation with links and added links to Easy Medical Device as I saw that some links to MDDONLINE were also included to give the readers more insight.


 * So please don't think that I am spamming, I am just providing free content to people interested on Medical Devices. You can check on my website, everything is free as I believe like you that people have the right to receive a good information.


 * Thanks for your understanding.


 * Regards.


 * Monir El Azzouzi

 * Thanks for replying!  Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting (see WP:THREAD) - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in front of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and so on, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this  in front of your comment. Threading/indenting also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread.  I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit.  That is how we know who said what to whom and when.


 * Please be aware that threading and signing are fundamental etiquette here, as basic as "please" and "thank you", and continually failing to thread and sign communicates rudeness, and eventually people may start to ignore you (see here).


 * I know this is unwieldy, but this is the software environment we have to work on. Sorry about that. Will reply on the substance in a second... Jytdog (talk) 20:30, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks again for replying. There are a few things going on here.  First of all, would you please disclose any relationship you have with the website, easymedicaldevice.com?  Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:33, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Jytdog, thanks for helping me understand more about Wikipedia editing. Regarding your question, I am the creator of the blog easymedicaldevice.com. As said, there is no commercial involved on this blog. Only bring the information easily on the Medical Device Regulation. I am not paid as an influencer or as an employee by this blog. All is pro bono. I even provide advices to people reading me for free. I hope you'll accept my editing as my intention is really to provide value to the platform. I was even thinking of creating in near future the update of the Medical Device page related to the new definition in Europe and the update of the classification. I just mentioned them as side information as this will be officially applicable by May 2020. So no need to rush until then. Monir El Azzouzi 07:50, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
