User talk:Sallen888.sa

Welcome

Hello Sallen888.sa. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Imagen Ltd, 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:Sallen888.sa. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sallen888.sa|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. --VViking_TalkEdits 14:31, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmation of what I need to add to user profile

Thank you for your message.

I just want to confirm - I am an employee of Imagen Ltd. but I am not being paid to solely update the Wikipedia page.

As such, do I only list: |employer= Imagen Ltd. on my user page, or do I need to add more detail?

Thank you, SJ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sallen888.sa (talk • contribs)

You are correct. The code for your paid disclosure on your userpage (User:Sallen888.sa) would be {{paid|employer=Imagine Ltd.}}.

One other thing... when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:31, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Expectations of paid editors

Hi - thank you for declaring your connection to Imagen Ltd. Please review the actual expectations at WP:COI and at WP:PAID. You should not edit the article directly - you should use edit requests to suggest changes, providing reliable and independent sources when you do so. Unconnected contributors will review your suggestions. The article has been nominated for deletion, on the grounds that the subject appears not to meet our notability requirements for organisations. You are entitled to comment on that discussion by clicking on the link in the banner at the top of the relevant article, but I'd strongly advise you to read through those notability requirements before doing so - the only way you will persuade the community to keep the article is to provide multiple sources which meet the requirements set out there.
