User talk:Rafaellacj

Welcome!

Hello, Rafaellacj, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Directory of British Associations, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Directory of British Associations

A tag has been placed on Directory of British Associations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

out of date citations

hi,

I appreciate your work updating out of date links. However, if you find a link that cannot be updated it is best to leave the old one rather than deleting it. Old links can be used for find archived versions, or as a clue to finding links in the future. Thanks and keep up the work, Peregrine981 (talk) 12:49, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Thanks for explaining, Peregrine, I'll remember that.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Jeraphine Gryphon was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. John Cummings (talk) 10:35, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosure of employment

Hello Rafaellacj. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Chatham House, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Rafaellacj. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rafaellacj|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:59, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Drm310: The fact that Rafaellacj's user page says "I work for Chatham House and am being paid to write the London Conference 2015 article. " - and has done since 2015 - suggests that your opening allegation is incorrect. Perhaps you would like to strike it?

Flickr images

A good number of CH's Flickr images use the "Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 " CC licence, If you an get that changed, dropping the "NoDerivs" restriction, as some of the images already have), we will be able to use the images on Wikipedia. Can you ask about that, please? Updating to v4.0 at the same time would also be sensible. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:02, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
