User talk:Pharaoh68

October 2023
Hello Pharaoh68. The nature of your edits 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:Pharaoh68. 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. 331dot (talk) 09:26, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for your input - I really don't have anything to do with them - sorry I'm new here and not familiar with all of the disclosure requirements you mention above. I've never created a new page before and was reading a report from these guys, was looking at their social media and noticed they had no Wiki page so thought this could be a useful learning experience for me as a quick and easy short page to start from scratch. Clearly has but not in the way I expected! I don't want to fall foul of any requirements so I'm in your hands if you think best to just drop this or if there's anything I should do. Thanks so much Pharaoh68 (talk) 09:34, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * If you have no association with them, there is no issue here and you are welcome to keep working on it. An article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability- such as a notable organization. Please see Your First Article.
 * Instead of "wiki page" the preferred term is article. "Wiki page" has a broader meaning than just the content of the encyclopedia.
 * Writing a new article is the most difficult task to perform on Wikipedia, at least successfully. We usually recommend that new users first gain experience and knowledge by editing existing articles in areas that interest them, as well as using the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia.  These things greatly increase the chances of success at article creation and will reduce frustration and anger that new users sometimes feel when things happen to their work that they spent hours on, that they don't understand. 331dot (talk) 09:41, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that's very helpful and I appreciate the feedback. All duly noted! Pharaoh68 (talk) 09:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
