Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Abdullahfaruqibnibrahimy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Mahdi, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. You can't link your own thesis. Please do not do this again FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:58, 21 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

February 2016 edit

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Mahdi. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Jesus in Islam, you may be blocked from editing. - HyperGaruda (talk) 16:53, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

HyperGaruda Alexf FreeatlastChitchat Actually I did not know rules and regulations of wikipedia. And I still do not know rules and regulations of wikipedia very well. I have seen that a youtube video of Sheikh Imran Hosein is added as external link in page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masih_ad-Dajjal. So I have also added my youtube video as external link in wikipedia. Previously I have added a pdf file in list of external links. But that link is also removed. Now I am confused about what is an acceptable link for listing in the external link of wikipedia. I am trying to provide some additional information to readers. Now I am interested to add this link, which is https://abdullahfaruq.wordpress.com, in list of external links of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdi page. Now is this acceptable ? This time I want to make sure that it is acceptable before editing wikipedia so you can not object to me later. My writing contains highly reliable text. You can verify it with someone, who knows very well about this subject. And what is wrong if my writing is self-published ? If the problem is with publishing on my blog or google drive or youtube channel then is it going to solve the problem if I publish it on someone else blog or google drive or website or youtube channel ? How are you going to accept one single paragraph of mine as linkable to list of external links of any page of wikipedia ? I guess wikipedia editors do response to this kind of questions.

Hello. The addition of links to Wikipedia is tightly regulated, because people tend to see Wikipedia as a place for calling attention to them, their organisations, their products or their ideas; see for example the guidelines at WP:ELNO. In your particular case, there is guideline #11 on what is not an acceptable link: Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities who are individuals always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people.) Unlike Imran N. Hosein and the other shaykhs/muftis, you do not appear to be a recognized authority, nor has your work been peer-reviewed by reliable publishers/journals (which is to ensure that a third party has had the chance to correct potential errors). - HyperGaruda (talk) 06:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
