User talk:Waps1111

Welcome!
Hello, Waps1111, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Hi there ,

I believe you got this wrong, I’m the artist’s manager and was writing on his behalf.

Hello Waps1111. 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:Waps1111. 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. Well, never-the-less, you need to follow the site rules. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 13:42, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Sorry you are incorrect, I will receive no payment to make any edits on Wikipedia, I’m just interested I’m contributing if that’s ok? Waps1111 (talk) 14:04, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , Earlier you stated you are writing on the artist's behalf. If you're not being paid or otherwise influenced to do so, at least make sure you follow WP:COI rules. Beyond that, thank you for contributing, thank you for not being another paid editor (I deal with spam quite literally all the time), and I hope you enjoy the site. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 14:12, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Moonythedwarf apologies for the misunderstanding, I guess I should’ve worded it better. And no I am not influenced or paid to edit this profile. Do you know if I’m editing it correctly or if there’s anything I need to do instead? Waps1111 (talk) 16:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Waps1111, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Hi there thank you for you message. I have started filing out a new Profile and would like to create others and die but I’m not sure if I’m on the right track, I was also unable to upload a image from my desktop , is there any particular reasons for that?
