Your edit to University of Bucharest has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Hello Irinaorla. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to University of Bucharest, 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:Irinaorla. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Irinaorla|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) 15:55, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers They have the template on their user page. (In nowiki tags but i'll fix that now.) Nobody (talk) 16:39, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your help. I tried to disclose this long before adding this content, there is no hiding, just haven't done it properly so thank you.

Permission for copywrited materials is pending, there must be something about it on the article's talk page. Sorry if I have not have done the right thing, I mean no harm and try my best to follow all the rules.

Also permission is pending. Irinaorla (talk) 17:15, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping, 1AmNobody24, and yes, I missed that, apologies and thanks to Irinaorla too. Irinaorla, please follow the advice here – you're strongly discouraged from editing the article itself, but may request changes on the corresponding talk-page, adding a {{request edit}} template if you like. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:32, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've mailed with Irinaorla around 2 1⁄2 weeks ago and told them about WP:PAID and Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials, if you want i can send the mails to you @Justlettersandnumbers. Just so you know what they know. Nobody (talk) 18:42, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. Will try to do the request edit template and send the link to permission, I think I got it now? Please correct me if I am wrong. There must have been a misunderstanding from my part because we have been asked this in a reply to the permission mail-: "we need to know the specific name or link to the page(s) on Wikimedia Commons to which you have uploaded them", that is why I started directly editing. Irinaorla (talk) 19:18, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is not very clear to me if the {{request edit}} template applies to the images as well.

Permission to Commons was sent. Would you be able to tell me? Thank you. Irinaorla (talk) 10:25, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Irinaorla, I assume you did this: Please send us a clear statement from an email address that shows that you act for the copyright holder, stating that you are authorised by your employer to release the work, under a specific free license. See Commons:Email templates for the preferred form.

If that's the case you'll need to wait for a reply from them which takes some time:The number of active Commons VRT members is quite small in relation to the number of emails received. The current backlog for tickets in English is approximately 11 days. Nobody (talk) 11:18, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again for your kind help. Yes, I have done that. They answered asking more about it. Irinaorla (talk) 11:39, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at University of Bucharest, you may be blocked from editing. Content on Wikipedia follows strict guidelines. For example, you rewrote the lead of the article in a completely inappropriate way to promote the university (see MOS:LEAD). Since you are a paid editor, you need to be particularly careful and avoid editing directly. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:54, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Section removal notification

Hi! Thanks for your edit requests at the talk page of University of Bucharest. I think you intended to create two distinct requests in separate sections, but you actually made the same exact request twice. For readability of the talk page, I have removed the duplicate. Don't worry, you haven't broken any rules or anything like that, I'm just notifying you. I also responded to your edit request. Actualcpscm (talk) 08:26, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you a lot for your help. I am still learning. Will update the edit and reply when it is done so you can check, if that is possible.

Is it ok to write all the edit requests as a reply in the same "Some suggestions part"? Also, with media, if I wish to put up new logo, new pictures, do I also have to make edit request or can I do it directly? Thank you. Irinaorla (talk) 09:26, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you can just update that request, but it's better to write a new one so that the discussion remains readable for posterity.

As a paid editor, you should not be making any direct edits at all. The only exceptions would be things like reverting obvious and unambiguous vandalism, or deleting material that requires WP:OVERSIGHT. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:49, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Hi! I saw your email. Remember that you can also reach out to editors at their talk pages for inquiries.

I read the source code for your suggestion. It's weird that the references are not showing up in the textdiff, I'm not sure if that's intended. Maybe it's because you formatted them as bare URLS, like this:

In 1818, Transylvanian bookman Gheorghe Lazăr establishes St. Sava School, a Romanian teaching school.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/34258465/The-Romanians-a-History</ref>

That is better than nothing, but it's somewhat suboptimal. It's more useful if you format your references using one of the templates made for that purpose, such as Template:Cite web or Template:Cite book.
An alternative to using textdiff for suggestions is to draft the suggestion in your userspace, which allows you to use all markup. If you want to be extra helpful, you can create that draft, then replace it with the existing source code from the article, and then revert that replacement. This will generate a diff (for the revert) showing your proposed changes, which is very easy to read and evaluate for other editors. That's by no means required or even expected, it's just an optional courtesy.
I'm going to review your proposal and get back to you on it soon. Actualcpscm (talk) 10:33, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much!! I wanted for the references to show, not to be hidden, of course. Wait, please, I will make a new edit request to try again to put the right text in the right past tense and trying the reference templates made for that purpose. It's okay to delete previous requests after I put the new requests so as not to make the talk page unnecessarily crowded, but please keep them for now until I submit a new one.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. Irinaorla (talk) 10:58, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I have put two requests on the University talk page. Neither Ref tags or Cite web templates also didn't work for TextDif (ref tags dont show and cite web templates are a block of code). I would do the Diff that is easier to read for the editors, but I am not sure how to do all that you mentioned. Irinaorla (talk) 13:07, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's alright, I'm figuring it out anyways. Actualcpscm (talk) 15:00, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the request and added my reply to the talk page of the university. Actualcpscm (talk) 15:53, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have re done that and added some more suggestions, would appreciate very much if you could take a look when you can so I can improve. Apologies for how the references formatting looks, at least it works. Irinaorla (talk) 06:17, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
