Hello, I'm Golikom. I noticed that you recently removed content from Strength Sports Australia without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello Gorani!007. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Strength Sports Australia, 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:Gorani!007. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Gorani!007|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. As director and president of Strength Sports Australia, you must follow the paid contributor rules, as noted above. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:59, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not paid any money, I am a volunteer.

The person who made this page is from another federation. This page is not fair to the volunteers who contribute to the organisation. The information on the page is misleading and not fair. Our sport culture is bad, and people are using this bureaucracy to damage us. Why are you leaving information on the page already that I have already fact checked. This has taken its toll on the mental health of myself and our volunteers.

This was the discussion that I made.

The page has been written from a bias point of view. I have tried to correct it by

1. Attempting to remove information that is not proven (eg: the statement that said that the structure of the board is unclear, and the qualification process is unclear).

2. Reworded statements made from the APU (eg the statement about us leaving the ipf)

3. Included details about what SSA has recently done, including Kettlebell events.

4. Made a statement regarding its stance on drugs.

5. Remove irrelevant information about the position of World Drug Free Powerlifting Federation and being Signatory (it is irrelevant).

6. Noted that we were the 3rd nation that has left the IPF in recent years. USAPL and Powerlifting Australia being the other 2.

7. Added Strength Sports Australia's first competitions (it is now SSA, so very relevant)

8. Our international competitions are now with WDFPF, as it is now an SSA page, IPF is not our international body.

9. Only include world records if they are held while under APU or SSA.

Those changes are reasonable, and no biased.

As this page is not going to be managed without releasing the issues among the sport as a whole, yes it should be closed.

Hi - Please tell me which is copyright material that I have added which required permission? Gorani!007 (talk) 09:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The content you copied from https://www.strengthsports.org.au/index.cfm?module=news&pageMode=indiv&page_id=2359184. Regardless of the copyright issue, it's not the kind of content that should be added to Wikipedia. Diannaa (talk) 12:47, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So why is it not they type of content? Can I ask if you have any conflicting relationships with APU or SSA? Gorani!007 (talk) 21:45, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I ask is because the page has been manipulated by people who had positions in the organization, and now people who are in conflict with the organisation. My simple goal is to see the page with a accurate description of its life. Gorani!007 (talk) 21:49, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I will do this in bits.

Firstly, in "Notable lifters".

quote:

"Under their IPF affiliation the Australian Powerlifting Union had multiple world record holders, including:

(dot point 4) Bethany Parker - Sub-Junior (14-18) Women -84 kg Classic Total (481.5 kg)

unquote,

This result was achieved in while Bethany was not a member of APU, and we will not claim credit for this. It misrepesents us and takes away credit from the federation that she was lifting for.

The result for this event is here (Bethany Parker is number 35): 2016 OceaniaPF Asia & Oceania Classic Powerlifting Championships. This result was achieved in 2016, the APU was not even accepted as a provisional affiliate of the IPF until 2018. AUSTRALIAN POWERLIFTING UNION - International Powerlifting Federation IPF

Credit should be provided on her own wikipedia, or Powerlifting Australias wikipedia.

How do you want to do it? Unless there is an issue, I will remove Bethany Parker, alternatively, you can? I do not want you to be undoing things that I have been doing for integrity. If you do not respond, I will remove it in the next 8 hours.

I hope we can get this sorted faster. Happy to be guided if you think that is what it takes. I am here to make this better. Gorani!007 (talk) 11:06, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Gorani!007. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Strength Sports Australia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Regards, Spintendo 16:40, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the person who is avoiding these changes has a conflict of interest. They are from an "opposing organisation". Gorani!007 (talk) 21:38, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
