username issue
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Organicfarming", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 17:09, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hi, from your edits it appears that you work for orgakart.com or Vivekon. Please change your username, per the above notice. Please also read the notice below...

Hello, Organicfarming. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Comments
It is really important that we manage conflicts of interest (COI) in Wikipedia, to preserve the public's trust in the integrity of Wikipedia. The first step is disclosure. Would you please disclose your relationship with orgakart.com and/or Vivekon? After you do that, we can talk about next steps.

Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 17:13, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Response
Thanks Jytdog for the review and comments, I appreciate. Let me assist you understand me. I'm an Experienced Agronomist in Agriculture, especially Organic Farming. As you rightly pointed our, Yes, I'm associated with Orgakart as a Consulting Agronomist to provide Guidance, Advice to the Orgakart Users without any cost. My intention was not to promote orgakart, rather there was very little information available on Seed Priming - a wonderful germination methodology used over the ages over wikipedia. I have done a lot research in these areas. I always love the references / contents from Wikipedia, and I respect Wikipedia. I thought, let me add this to Wikipedia, and if approved will help users.Organicfarming (talk) 02:33, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, you don't just have a COI you are what we call a "paid editor." We manage COI here, though disclosure and a form of peer review. :
 * Disclosure': Please disclose your relationship with orgakart on your User page User:Organicfarming -  something very similar to what you wrote above would do just great.
 * Peer review: Please do not directly edit any article where you have a conflict of interest.  Instead, please make "edit requests" on the article talk page.  To do that, just open a new section on the Talk page, fill in the section title, copy this:  at the top of the editing space, write a brief note explaining your COI (disclosure at the Talk page too!), then write what you want to add to the article below that, sign, and save.  Other editors can then the review the request, and if it complies with NPOV and our sourcing requirements, they will implement the edit for you, or will give you the green light to do it yourself.
 * will you please do both things going forward? do let me know. thx. Jytdog (talk) 02:50, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Organicfarming (talk) 03:56, 5 June 2015 (UTC) Thanks Jytdog for the help. Ok, I will make appropriate changes to the user page, as well as send the edit request as you recommended. I have a question on Paid Editor - do I need to pay any fees? or donate any fees to editors or Wikipedia?Organicfarming (talk) 03:56, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * no you don't need to pay anyone or pay WP. WP is a free project where volunteers work. If you are not aware of it, there is a good number of editors who really hate paid editing and who react negatively to paid editors, so don't be surprised if you experience strongly negative reactions.   fwiw, I recommend that you make your disclosure more simple, and just write there: "I'm an experienced agronomist, especially knowledgable about organic farming. I'm associated with Orgakart.Com as a consulting agronomist."  Just simple.  Good luck!   Jytdog (talk) 08:42, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Jytdog, I appreciate your help. I respect WP even more. Love you WP and WP Editors!. I'm updating the disclosure. Thanks. Organicfarming (talk) 11:35, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
