Edelweiss Capital Group Limited moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Edelweiss Capital Group Limited. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BoraVoro (talk) 08:40, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

  • Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
  • State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
  • Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

Given the usage of fake sources while promoting a really sketchy company, in conjunction with another account, I have disabled this account. Sam Kuru (talk) 20:19, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi, first of all, I would like to admit my mistake of not adhering to the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure guideline, frankly speaking I haven't known its existance prior to this so I am grateful that this experience allows me to learn it the hardway.

My initial intention of venturing into the paid-contribution field is that I believe my own knowledge can no longer provide any new addition in the already information-rich English Wikipedia. Hence, I was hoping that via these clients, I am able to add new topics that will help complete the English Wikipedia article collection. I believed that by carefully ensuring its neutrality, I am able to produce a decent article qualified for Wikipedia inclusion, which can later be improved. However, this experience had proved me wrong.

I admit my mistake of overlooking the fake websites, as it never occurred to me that a fake website that looks very similar to cbs news website exist.

As this is my first article creation in the English site, I have never thought of sending it for review prior to publishing it. I initially planned to publish it first to adhere to the agreement with the client, and continue to improve it after this, and if that can't be done, delete it or submit a request for deletion myself. I thank BoraVoro for moving it into draft, and ultimately led to its deletion. I agree its the right move to take.

I have no relation whatsoever with Tanweer Morshed, aside from the common use of a fake website as our source. I truly apologize for being such careless when creating this article. I will be more attentive and careful in my future creations.

I welcome any constructive comments and suggestions for improvement. My understanding to the guidelines and rules of Wikipedia (which seems like never ending to me) is still severely incomplete and I would try my best to go through them. I hope this conversation, if continued, can be a friendly one, adhering to the WP:DNB and WP:FAITH guidelines. Limbo.J (talk) 23:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

It seems intuitively obvious that taking money from what appears to be a fake company and creating promotional material for them using fake sources and fake PR from the entity itself would be, perhaps, ethically-challenged. Who was the specific client?Sam Kuru (talk) 01:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The client is Lauren L from Upwork, and I only received the article's subject after accepting the gig. I don't agree that we can conclude that it is a fake company just because it is paying fake sources to promote their company. Not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia? Yes, I now agree. Fake company? I have my reservations.

Same goes to assuming an article is being promotional just because I am paid, does the article itself lists down the services they provide? No. Does it boasts about its past achievements and awards? No. The only thing that can be debated, is that I did mentioned the company's total assets, which can also be found in plenty of other articles of similar topics. I should note that the article is removed due to lack of notability, in which I agree with.

Did I made mistakes? Yes. Should I do my own research and background checks prior to accepting the job? Yes. Should I terminate the gig instead of proceeding with it? Maybe I should. But does being a Wikipedia editor meant that he/she will not make a mistake of not fact checking certain things? Should a single mistake meant that a long time contributor such as Tanweer Morshed is punished by blocking him? Isn't the point of Wikipedia is that one's mistake is corrected by the others, for the aim of continuous improvement? If Wikipedia can't tolerate an editor who made mistakes while doing something new for the first time, then maybe I should consider leaving it.Limbo.J (talk) 11:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are not, in any way, volunteering our time to mop up after utterly incompetent paid actors who have made deceptive promotional garbage edits on behalf of shady-ass anonymous agents. The fact that you're still trying to justify this, and still seem to think this was acceptable behavior, tells me that you lack the basic skills to edit here. Good luck with your unblock request.

Whatever, it's not like you are considering unblocking me.Limbo.J (talk) 11:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
