User talk:NomikosG

Welcome!
Hello, NomikosG, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Zarah Garde-Wilson, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! :Jay8g [ V•T•E ] 19:27, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Garde Wilson Lawyers and Zarah Garde-Wilson
Hello NomikosG. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Zarah Garde-Wilson, 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:NomikosG. 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. :Jay8g [ V•T•E ] 06:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Jay8g. I have not received, nor will I receive, any payment or compensation for the production of these pages. I am not employed by or directly or indirectly contracted for these edits. I am an avid true crime fan and have been following events surrounding the subject of these pages. I am new to writing in Wikipedia and have tried my best to maintain a neutral tone. Please do not hesitate to provide any further advice on how I can improve my writing style to better comply with the stylistic requirements of Wikipedia. NomikosG (talk) 06:57, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That's good to hear. I'd suggest starting with Neutral point of view, What Wikipedia is not, and Manual of Style/Words to watch. Both articles have a significant promotional tone issue currently, especially Garde Wilson Lawyers which reads more like an ad/portfolio for the company than a neutrally-written article. :Jay8g [ V•T•E ] 07:03, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've made some substantial changes to both and removed promotional style language and content. NomikosG (talk) 07:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Michael Kuzilny moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Michael Kuzilny. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. CycloneYoris talk! 09:22, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
