Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1] MrOllie (talk) 22:44, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay, noted, with thanks. Mutaaih (talk) 23:09, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello Mutaaih. The nature of your edits 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:Mutaaih. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mutaaih|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. MrOllie (talk) 19:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Hallo @MrOllie. I have no paid interest in the page. I stumbled on it from Google search results page. I read it, used what I could, and thought to improve it. I am just an enthusiast of Wikipedia, nothing more. While my current account is new, I have had other accounts and edited Wikipedia successfully.

While you are here, may I ask, is Wikipedia generally unwelcoming to editing from my region (Kenya/Africa)? Mutaaih (talk) 20:41, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

First you added a spam link to his company to another article. I don't buy it. Please list these other accounts you've had here. MrOllie (talk) 21:16, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I was just trying to be a useful Wikipedia contributor. Let the matter rest.

...and thanks for your corrections, I have learned/realized what I can.

Have a nice time, and I hope to see you around. Mutaaih (talk) 00:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Haueter Award

The article Haueter Award has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Zero independent sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
