User talk:VirtualAnatomy

Welcome!

Hello, Immersivelabz, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Cadaviz, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Hello Immersivelabz. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Immersivelabz. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Immersivelabz|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. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 14:19, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your inquiry. I would like to clarify that my contributions were made in good faith with the intention of providing accurate and informative content about Cadaviz. However, I understand that this may have given the impression of a conflict of interest.

While I do have an affiliation with the product, I believed that adherence to Wikipedia's policies on paid editing and conflicts of interest was not necessary, as I am not gaining any financial benefits from these edits. I now realize that this assumption was incorrect, and I regret not following the guidelines from the outset.

Moving forward, I will ensure full transparency by clearly disclosing any paid editing activities and strictly adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines on conflicts of interest. I will also make sure that my contributions align with Wikipedia’s principles of neutrality and verifiability.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am committed to rectifying this situation and ensuring compliance with Wikipedia's policies in the future. Therefore, I kindly request that my page be unblocked. Immersivelabz (talk) 09:10, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Alexf^(talk) 15:38, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by ImmersiveVisionPrivateLimited for their contributions to Wikipedia.

You have not answered whether you are editing for pay (which would include being asked or expected to edit as a duty or employment of internship). Your edits so far certainly seem to include that you are affiliated with the company and have a financial interest in it. Would this be correct? If so, why did you not follow the paid editing and conflict of interest requirements, and what would you do to ensure you do follow those in the future? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 06:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have proposed as a new username "Your proposed new virtualanatomy"; I assume you don't want "your proposed new" in your username? 331dot (talk) 08:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing that out. You're correct, I intended the username to be simply "VirtualAnatomy." I apologize for the confusion. Please update it to "VirtualAnatomy" without the additional text. Please let me know if any further clarification is needed. Immersivelabz (talk) 09:03, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please communicate with us without using an AI.(the above is 100% certain to be AI generated according to GPTzero) We don't expect talk page posts to be grammatically and stylistically perfect. We want to talk with you, not an AI. Are there any topics that you want to edit about other than your company/its products? Typically in this situation we want to see a substantial history of edits from the user outside of their conflict of interest, as a demonstration of their understanding of relevant policies before permitting them to indirectly contribute in the area of their conflict of interest- our experience is that allowing people in this position to dive right back into COI editing is a waste of time for everyone(including the editor). 331dot (talk) 09:25, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hoped to communicate my message clearly, I was not too much concerned about grammar or style. If unblocked I would like to edit topics relevant to virtual dissections. It is a domain I am working in and am passionate about. In my next article I draft I will make sure to highlight all the relevant information's related to the field and not just any single work. I was not paid to create the current page neither will I receive any financial remuneration for anything I create on Wikipedia. I hope I have conveyed my intentions clearly and if you find my next article also conflicting with Wikipedia's policies please feel free to revoke my reading privileges as well. Immersivelabz (talk) 09:44, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We never revoke reading privileges (that's not even something we can do, nor that I would ever want us to be able to do). If you want to make general edits about the field, that's certainly better than directly about something you have an interest in, but you'd have to be very careful that your editing in that area doesn't stray into pushing your particular company's stuff, and just neutrally summarizes what's found in reliable and independent sources. Does that make sense? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 10:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that makes sense. This was my first ever Wikipedia draft and in my inexperience I conveyed the wrong impression. I sincerely apologies for my mistake. Immersivelabz (talk) 11:17, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that you don't have to be specifically paid to edit to be a paid editor(otherwise every paid editor would deny being specifically paid to edit). Any paid relationship- such as employment- triggers the disclosure requirement. Unless you are saying you are just a janitor at the company or something, you're probably a paid editor. 331dot (talk) 12:03, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dully noted and I understand the point regarding creating a paid article. What I seems unable to convey is the point that I was not creating an article because I was professionally obliged to do so. Nor did I want to create anything with financial motive. All I wanted to do was create a page about a concept not previously explored by Wikipedia. I understand it raised some red flags and I understand I was in the wrong. What I do not understand how should I convey this to all you esteemed self's without being unblocked or without having the opportunity to rectify my mistake. Immersivelabz (talk) 12:13, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's make this simple - please answer this question with one word, either "yes" or "no". Are you employed by this company? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:45, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Immersivelabz (talk) 12:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but as a new user I request, please give me an opportunity to rectify my mistake. I work for something I am passionate about and wanted to write about. And I just want an opportunity to rectify my mistake. So it is my humble request kindly unblock me and let me change my username so that the notion you all have that I can justify with my next article that I am not creating the article for some vested financial or any other interest. And also it would be a great help if you could enlighten me what exactly should I do to be allowed to create articles which I am passionate about. Immersivelabz (talk) 13:00, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Because you are employed by this company, then you are considered a paid editor according to Wikipedia's paid editing disclosure policy. Your employment by itself triggers this policy. It does not matter if you are being paid specifically to edit Wikipedia; nor does it matter if you are an unpaid intern; nor does it matter whether anyone at the company directed you to edit about the company.

As for your unblock request, while I am not an administrator, I have seen how admins deal with situations like this. They will want you to, in the short term, commit to editing topics that are unrelated to your conflict of interest. The purpose of this is for you to build up a constructive edit history, and along the way, gain an understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. In time, then you may be allowed to write about your company indirectly, using the Articles for Creation process. The reviewing admin can correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems to be the way towards a successful unblock.

Your unblock may take several days or weeks to be evaluated. There is a long queue of unblock requests and administrators are all volunteers. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. Can you help me with changing my username. Immersivelabz (talk) 13:11, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed. Yes, Drm310 is essentially correct. While different admins may feel differently with the specifics, we will want to see that you understand relevant Wikipedia policies about content and sourcing before we permit you to indirectly contribute about your company. The best way to do this is by seeing you edit in areas for which you have no conflict of interest. Our experience is that allowing people in your position to dive right back into editing is a waste of time for everyone- including the editor- as the person is usually too close to their company to be able to write about it, even indirectly, according to policy. Exceptions to this do happen, where an editor demonstrates their understanding of policies beforehand, but that is rare. Are there other topics that you might edit about? 331dot (talk) 13:34, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
