Hello ACI MGMT. 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 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:ACI MGMT. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=ACI MGMT|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. 331dot (talk) 13:05, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "ACI MGMT", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be the name of an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 13:05, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Dear Wikipedia Team,
- ACI MGMT is not the name of an organisation I am aware of or I am working for. I made up the name using the initials of my siblings ("ACI") and "MGMT" because it sounded professional. If you still think I should change the username, please do let me know. Then I will change my username.
- Thanks! Have a loverly rest of the day! ACI MGMT (talk) 13:18, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Your explanation is sufficient; it may save you some grief to change your username in some way to remove the "MGMT", then your username would sound less like a company- but you do not need to. If you wish to, you may do so at the link provided above.
- I would ask you if you have any sort of association with Jesse Chuku. 331dot (talk) 13:30, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- And regarding the message above, a conflict of interest does not exist. I will not get compensated for creating this article. I am a friend of the person that the article is about.
- Could you please let me know if I have to do further steps so that the article can be published as soon as possible!
- Thank you! ACI MGMT (talk) 13:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Being a friend of a topic is indeed a conflict of interest. Please read WP:COI carefully. You don't have to be paid to have a conflict of interest(that would be paid editing). You have submitted the draft- I expect that it will be declined as having inadequate sourcing demonstrating that the Jesse meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Per WP:BLP every substantive statement in an article about a living person must be sourced, preferably to an independent reliable source. There must be significant coverage of him by independent sources in order for him to merit an article. Wikipedia has no deadlines, so what is the urgency? 331dot (talk) 14:03, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the feedback. As I have never created a Wikipedia page before I am quiet new with these things, thank you for explaining.
- I am pretty sure Jesse meets the criteria of a notable person, he was one of the top Basketball players from the Uk, played for the National Team and is now a world wide acknowledged content creator. I will adjust the article and add more sources to confirm all that.
- Concerning the urgency: I was mentioning the urgency as Jesse is invited to the Film Festival in Cannes next week and he will also be part of a large event in L.A. So far, a lot of Wikipedia like pages only mention his Basketball career. Newspapers and many podcast interviews and more confirm that he is a notable content creator in the UK and worldwide already. I thought it was necessary to update a few facts about his current career on here. ACI00 (talk) 18:39, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
