April 2022[edit]

Hello Kmartin.bim. 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:Kmartin.bim. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Kmartin.bim|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. MrOllie (talk) 13:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ‪MrOllie‬. Thank you for reaching me. You are doing a great job for Wikipedia and helping to provide its users with true and genuine information. I am not promoting anything here. I have nothing to do with SEO. I teach about BIM and by sharing this kind of information, many students are getting to learn a lot. You can see that I have shared a agreeable image for visuals of 4D BIM on that page. I have placed only one image on it. You can also read his summary. Although, I have written the name of the software in it. But I have no relation with that software company, and I have not come here to promote that software. I'm using that image just for a visual so that the viewer can understand how it works. If it is not suitable for Wikipedia, you can remove it. I have no intention of breaking Wikipedia's rules. Thank you. Kmartin.bim (talk) 05:17, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying, but do note that we cannot use images that contain watermarks or logos, except of course for an image that is only the logo for use on a company's dedicated page. MrOllie (talk) 11:25, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I have understood what you said and I apologize for didn't pay attention to the logo in that image. I am removing that. I'll take care of that next time. I will try my best that from now on I can make correct edits in Wikipedia which is not against the rules. Thanks a lot. Kmartin.bim (talk) 13:14, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
