September 2020 edit

 

Hello Glenn Welby. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Cybercy, 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:Glenn Welby. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Glenn Welby|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. I see a gentleman by your name is closely associated with Cybercy. There is a certain irony about this.

Thanks for your fulsome response, let me address your concerns. Draft:Cybercy is my first attempt at submitting an article to Wikipedia and I have been on a steep learning curve. I have received no funds to draft this latest edit, I have received some coaching on requirements for an article to be included and some guidance and support in proper citing of my sources. I have used Easybib.com to assist in presenting my sources correctly. I was quite pleased with myself that I had improved the quality and robustness of my first article :-)

I am indeed the owner of a business called Cybercy registered in Australia and Singapore, I own a trademark with a logo that spells the word CYBERCY. In my article it is clear that the word was imagined before I engaged in the business or this article. The breadth of my sources and research I believe demonstrates a thorough understanding of this subject and it nascent nature, I do intend to sell services to address a lack of Cybercy (is that Ilcyberate?), nonetheless I believe that the matter is of public importance and the academics writers and organisations that I have cited clearly share a general view that this is an area of global significance.

I am delighted at the thoroughness of this wikipedia process and will be happy to provide whatsoever you require to persist with this submission.

The process here is more than thorough. There is a minimum standard of notability and verifiability that all articles must meet. Paid contributions (broadly construed) have a bigger hurdle to leap than others because they must be above reproach. Fiddle Faddle 09:09, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
