Hello, I'm CaradhrasAiguo. I noticed that you made a change to an article, China Molybdenum, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 16:58, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dsj421. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to CMOC Group Limited, 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:Dsj421. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Dsj421|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. Amigao (talk) 14:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken. I am not being compensated by CMOC or any other entity anywhere with CMOC for any publicity efforts on behalf of CMOC or its group

I also note that you are not saying that any of my edits are inaccurate. All are readily available in publicly reported news articles or reports filed with regulatory agencies. Moreover, my frequency of editing (a grand total of 2 edits over 4 years) would somewhat belie the notion that I am being paid to edit.

Next time I discover a mistake on a post, I won’t waste my time trying to make Wikipedia a better or more accurate source of information. 71.209.182.220 (talk) 15:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
