Paid editing

Hello Floating Quala. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to User:Floating Quala/sandbox5, 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:Floating Quala. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Floating Quala|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. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:56, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given the nature of the articles you're putting in your sandboxes, and the string of really blatant SEO/PR sites that you hit on the blacklist, this disclosure is mandatory. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:56, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Aamir Farooq

Hello, Floating Quala. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Aamir Farooq, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:02, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
