Hello NilsenAudun. 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 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 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:NilsenAudun. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=NilsenAudun|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.

Not sure if this is how I answer this post, but here goes.

This is what I wrote on the only article that I have tried to publish or edit.

"This article was written by me, Audun H. Nilsen, as an exercise to acquaint myself with Wikipedia-editing, and the topic was chosen because I find it of public interest, as well as of private interest."

But that private interest could of course be that you get paid for or work for the topic of the article. You seem to work in a related industry. So basically this message explains what to do if you get paid by the topic of the article, and the other one explains what to do if you got a conflict of interest.

I beg your pardon, but, again, were you the one who posted this? NilsenAudun (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I posted it. I used some templates to save myself some time. You can see it in the page history here I created this page (uw means user warning) and one of our friendly robots came along and replaced the templates with the appropriate message.

COI

[edit]

Information icon Hello, NilsenAudun. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Polygnotus (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have sent me two messages. Were you the one who posted the above post as well? There was no name or a reply-button, so I am confused. NilsenAudun (talk) 19:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes sir. You can see the page history (explained over at Help:Page_history) by clicking on the "View history" tab. You can see the contributions of a user (WP:CONTRIBS by clicking on their name and choosing "User contributions" in the menu on the left hand side.

WP:SIGN

[edit]

Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Polygnotus (talk) Polygnotus (talk) 19:41, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New message from Relativity

[edit]
Hello, NilsenAudun. You have new messages at Wikipedia:Teahouse.
Message added 22:55, 17 February 2024 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I'm not the one who replied to you, but since you posted in multiple locations I thought it'd be best to let you know you've got messages there. If you need anything, let me know. Cheers ‍ Relativity 22:55, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

COI/PAID Editing

[edit]

You seem uncomfortable with templates, I don't know how to use them yet anyways, so I will ask you directly on your user page:

Are you denying that you have been paid to create the draft you've been working on?

Thanks in advance for an actual answer, as you've now dodged doing so multiple times. Chiselinccc (talk) 06:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:ABL Group

[edit]

Information icon Hello, NilsenAudun. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:ABL Group, 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) 09:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:ABL Group

[edit]

Hello, NilsenAudun. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "ABL Group".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 08:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
