User talk:Idavidbennett

Welcome!

Hello, Idavidbennett, 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 User:Idavidbennett/sandbox, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Idavidbennett/sandbox

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Idavidbennett/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello Idavidbennett. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to User:Idavidbennett/sandbox, 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:Idavidbennett. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Idavidbennett|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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:45, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I understand the importance of transparency and compliance with Wikipedia’s policies on conflict of interest and paid editing.

To clarify, my intent in contributing to this article was to create a neutral, well-sourced entry for Mimic Productions, a company that has received coverage from multiple independent sources, including Corporate Vision News, Animation Magazine, 80.lv, and other reputable publications. I aimed to structure the article with a focus on neutral language and balanced sourcing to align with Wikipedia's standards.

If you believe my contributions still appear to have a conflict of interest, I am happy to follow Wikipedia’s recommended processes. I can make the necessary disclosures and submit the content through the Articles for Creation process instead of editing directly, ensuring all proposed contributions undergo proper review by other editors.

Please let me know if there’s anything specific I need to adjust or additional steps I should take to comply fully. I appreciate your guidance on how best to proceed and contribute constructively to the Wikipedia community. Idavidbennett (talk) 12:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
