March 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm LuK3. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to AstroPay have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Celta70. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to AstroPay, 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:Celta70. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Celta70|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. -- LuK3 (Talk) 01:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to AstroPay. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at AstroPay, you may be blocked from editing. Roundish ⋆t c) 01:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to AstroPay. Materialscientist (talk) 01:51, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I've noticed that I've been blocked from editing. I believe this is not fair as the only reason for the suggested editions is that the information about the company is not accurate. The company has evolved and I was trying to reflect those changes in the text that is a bit inaccurate. I understand the reasons why you blocked my account but I believe they should be reconsidered for the sake of providing reliable information. Thanks. Celta70 (talk) 02:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
