User talk:Zumbei

September 2023
Hello Zumbei. 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:Zumbei. 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) 11:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello. I have not an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic. I edit Wiki pages, for example, Ukrainian ones Zumbei (talk) 11:55, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I ask because you claim with this image that you personally took the image. Did you? It seems like you had close access to him. 331dot (talk) 12:00, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have all the rights to this photo. I have made changes to the article. Look, please Zumbei (talk) 12:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * How do you possess the rights to the photo? 331dot (talk) 12:26, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I made it with the consent of Jan Hoffmann. If the problem is in the photo, I can delete it Zumbei (talk) 12:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In the Ukrainian version of Wikipedia I made 26 edits on various topics. Also 1 edit in the German version of Wikipedia Zumbei (talk) 12:29, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * How do you possess the rights to the photo? 331dot (talk) 12:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I made it with the consent of Jan Hoffmann. If the problem is in the photo, I can delete it Zumbei (talk) 12:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If you made the photo, that is no problem. What is your relationship with Mr. Hoffman? 331dot (talk) 12:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * He is my an acquaintance. Zumbei (talk) 12:58, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * As you are his acquaintance, and are in communication with him about your editing, you should declare a conflict of interest(click for instructions) on your user page. Articles are typically written without the involvement of, or even knowledge of, the subject. 331dot (talk) 13:13, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have not any conflict of interest. Jan Hoffmann is not my friend. I have not any close financial relationship. Jan Hoffmann is not my owner, employee, contractor, investor or other stakeholder. Zumbei (talk) 13:24, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You absolutely have a conflict of interest, you are in communication with him about your editing. It doesn't need to be a compensated one. 331dot (talk) 13:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have not  any communication with him about my editing. He doesn't know about my article in Wiki.  Zumbei (talk) 13:34, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * So for what purpose did you state you were taking the photo when you got Hoffman's consent to photograph him? —C.Fred (talk) 13:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The photo was maken a long time ago. For personal use Zumbei (talk) 13:58, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Monday is not "a long time ago". You state the image was taken Monday in the file info. —C.Fred (talk) 15:55, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The photo was maken a long time ago.
 * The date may change during archiving or when transferring from device to device... For example, in the Ukrainian Wiki I tried to upload a file on 11.09, but the date of its creation in EXIF is 16.09. But this is impossible. This can be checked on any EXIF viewer pro or photos metadata Zumbei (talk) 12:24, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In Germany i must to get the prior consent of the person depicted Zumbei (talk) 14:01, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If I once ate at McDonald's, does that mean I won't be able to edit an article about McDonald's? Zumbei (talk) 13:37, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * No, but- to continue the analogy-if you asked the manager if you could take a photo of him to post on the internet or just because, that would be a conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 12:54, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Note that the Ukrainian Wikipedia may have different rules about this than the English Wikipedia- each Wikipedia is separate. 331dot (talk) 13:26, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The article is written with a tone that provides an unbiased, accurate, and proportionate representation of all positions included in the article Zumbei (talk) 13:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't see any notes at the draft that the tone is an issue. I see notes that say the draft was lacking sufficient inline sources, and I see discussion here about your relationship with Hoffman that appears to create a conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 13:35, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Every biographical fact is confirmed by a source. I can remove any unconfirmed fact Zumbei (talk) 13:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
