Welcome!

Hello, Kshitijsri82, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Blood transfusion journal, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 15:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Blood transfusion journal

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Blood transfusion journal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.bloodtransfusion.it/bt/libraryFiles/downloadPublic/4. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello Kshitijsri82. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Blood Transfusion (journal), 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:Kshitijsri82. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Kshitijsri82|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. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have no financial stakes in promoting the journal. Kshitijsri82 (talk) 12:58, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
One of your edits on the (now deleted) talk page mentioned the page being written on their behalf, how was this organized? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Seeing your Teahouse post, if your supervisor asked you to create a page for the journal as part of, say, a paid internship/research position, it does count as paid editing, even if you are not paid by the journal directly. (Also it's a weird thing for your research supervisor to ask. When in doubt, unionize.) Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
The editorial staff sent me the language and the image to put in the page. I have told them that Wikipedia is not allowing me to create the page for the journal and that they should consider doing it on their own. Kshitijsri82 (talk) 14:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, they shouldn't consider doing it on their own either, as they have an even bigger conflict of interest. The best plan is to create it in Wikipedia:Draftspace and have it go through Wikipedia:Articles for creation for review. When writing the draft, you should summarize in your own words what secondary sources (not the journal itself) say about it. The editorial staff cannot control the language used in the page, as Wikipedia is supposed to have a neutral, factual and encyclopedic tone, and they do not own the page. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:24, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ok. Thanks for the help. It is a free service for the journal for which my supervisor is one of the editors. Will create in Draftspace with modified language. Thanks Kshitijsri82 (talk) 14:30, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Additionally, I think someone already linked it at the teahouse, but Wikipedia:When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia is pretty good advice in your situation. If you're doing it out of your good will, it's fine, but if it is a request from your supervisor, you should be able to say "no" in situations like this, as it isn't part of your research duties and they're pretty much just using you to self-promote.
If it can help, tell your boss/the editorial staff that this recommendation comes from the new page reviewer who flagged the article for deletion. (I don't technically have authority over any other Wikipedia editors, but if it helps make it sound official, it can always help – also, best to check the laws with your local unions to see if your supervisor is even allowed to make this kind of requests) Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:34, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

COI

edit

  Hello, Kshitijsri82. 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Polygnotus (talk) 13:02, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, you need to disclose your conflict of interest without delay and before you do any other editing. It is clear that you are writing Draft:Blood Transfusion (journal) at the behest of one or more representatives of the journal in question, using content supplied by them, and this is therefore effectively you just acting as a front or shill for the journal team. If you are editing in any sort of paid role, or even an unpaid internship or research assistant or similar position, this comes under our paid-editing rules, and you must make the specific disclosure using the {{Paid}} template. If you are absolutely sure that paid editing does not apply, then you must make the general conflict of interest (COI) disclosure using the {{User COI}} template. Either of these templates must be placed on your user page User:Kshitijsri82. Please note that this is a hard requirement under our terms and conditions, not an optional extra. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:37, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
OK. I will provide the general COI at the user page. Thanks Kshitijsri82 (talk) 14:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! :) DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
