I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Jonasstaff. Thank you for your work on Rick Fedrizzi. 9H48F, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thanks for your article! It's clear Fedrizzi is notable due to his roles in USGBC, LEED, and WELL. The text was lacking some headlines making it difficult to read, so I added those in, reorganized, and edited for clarity.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|9H48F}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hello Jonasstaff. 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 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 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:Jonasstaff. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jonasstaff|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. HouseBlaster^talk 23:48, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I'm so sorry. Still a bit new to Wikipedia and didn't see this message until now. I've been wanting to help add information to Wikipedia for awhile, but finally got around to working on it now. I am interested in green building quite a bit, but I am not in any way making any money off of this work. I don't know Rick Fedrizzi and do not and have never worked for USGBC or anything like that. I just saw that he doesn't have a page and he's done so much for green building that it seemed a shame that he doesn't.

This is my first article and I kept getting told that he didn't sound notable enough and in my efforts to show that, I'm afraid it became a bit promotional sounding. However, I tried to use only quotes from reputable articles and I did not add any personal opinions. I saw people have removed a lot to make it more neutral which is great. Please let me know if you have any concerns or anything I should be doing differently. I'm happy for any feedback! Thank you! Jonasstaff (talk) 21:12, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi HouseBlaster. I just wanted to check that it'd be okay to keep editing articles or is there anything else I should do? Thank you! Jonasstaff (talk) 18:13, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

It is okay to keep editing; as long as you are not being paid there is nothing more you need to do. Happy editing! — HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 20:22, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Jonasstaff! Your additions to One Percent for the Planet have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
