August 2020 edit
Hello Beanstalkbeanstalk. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Uncommon Nasa, 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:Beanstalkbeanstalk. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Beanstalkbeanstalk|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. 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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
@Curb Safe Charmer: I would like to respond to the accusation that there is an undisclosed financial stake in a recent article I created. I DO know the subject of the article and we have worked together in the past; however, there is no financial incentive for the creation of his wikipedia page. The artist has not paid me to create the page, nor am I here to promote a product. The product we did work on together is now sold out and the company under which our liason was forged is going out of operation by the end of the year. I simply want to post a wikipedia article on the artist as a way to communicate his importance to alternative music. His name is often linked in other wikipedia pages and a page dedicated to him is long overdue. In other words, I am writing not out of financial interest, but out of an intimate familiarity with the subject's work, history, and legacy. I would like to share that knowledge/research, and the writing I have done on him, with an interested public. Beanstalkbeanstalk (talk) 09:44, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest edit
Hello, Beanstalkbeanstalk. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:51, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
