Orphaned non-free image File:Palisade logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Palisade logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 04:54, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Duality Technologies moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Duality Technologies, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello Ypolyakov. 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:Ypolyakov. 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. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:32, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I am not being compensated for writing this article/these edits. I am a scientist and tried to write the article in a neutral tone. Ypolyakov (talk) 00:13, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Please, see WP:FCOI: An editor has a financial conflict of interest when they write about a topic with which they have a close financial relationship. This includes being an owner, employee, contractor, investor or other stakeholder. You can write articles about subjects where you have a COI (financial or otherwise), and you are encouraged to submit them through the Articles for creation process, like you did, so everything's fine in that sense. But I would recommend you a careful read of the conflict of interest guideline, especially (but not limited to) the section on financial conflict of interest.

 * Thank you for your review. I removed all mentions of awards and the adjective "novel". Please let me know if now it looks good. If you find any further issues, please let me know what they are so I could fix them (I cannot see any at the moment, and just a general statement of issues with the formal tone would be hard to understand). This is my first new article. I modified existing articles in the past and might be missing something. Thank you again. Ypolyakov (talk) 00:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I was not paid for adding this sentence. The sentence is based on a publication at https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/915 (Cryptology ePrint Archive where all crypto papers are published). Ypolyakov (talk) 20:34, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That is a more narrow distinction than what Wikipedia uses. If you are an employee of Duality Technologies, you should not be writing about Duality Technologies, their products or their projects, open source or not. MrOllie (talk) 20:44, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. I will not be writing to this article. Please feel free to remove the sentence I added. Ypolyakov (talk) 20:57, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * As a follow-up, if you believe the new sentence is too biased, please remove the sentence. But the rest of the paper previously underwent the Articles for Creation process, and tagging seems inappropriate to me. I will remove the sentence and the tag. Ypolyakov (talk) 01:58, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It went through AFC, but you did not make the disclosures required by policy at that time. The tag is valid and should remain - and as a person with a conflict of interest, it is not appropriate for you to remove it. MrOllie (talk) 03:10, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
