User talk:Reluctantbeijinger

November 2022

Hello Reluctantbeijinger. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Center for China and Globalization, 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:Reluctantbeijinger. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Reluctantbeijinger|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. Amigao (talk) 14:59, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Amigao.

First of all, you are making insinuations based on guesswork, not facts.

Secondly and most importantly, your edits in the Center for China and Globalization - not just the nature of your edits - show that you stubbornly insist on one single source which says the the think tank is the activity of China's United Front Work Department while refusing to acknowledge there are numerous other reputable and reliable sources that describe the thinktank as non-governmental. Those other sources include United Nations Economic and Social Council, Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, Bloomberg News, NBC News, The New York Times,

Woodrow Wilson Center and European Policy Center. My adding their description are certainly not promotion, which you cited in your edited.

The thinktank also gives its own version why it is non-governmental, which I cited.

In my editing, I did NOT delete your side of the story. But in your subsequent editing, you delete all my contributions - again, from reputable and reliable sources internationally.

If we acknowledge there is a dispute in this matter - whether the thinktank is a Chinese governmet acticitiy or a non-governmental thinktank - we should present all sides of the dispute, rather than letting just one side to monopolize the dispute - exactly what you have been doing. That is just not right. Reluctantbeijinger (talk) 02:52, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Center for China and Globalization, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Reluctantbeijinger, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Reluctantbeijinger|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Amigao (talk) 03:49, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I do not have a financial stake in promoting a topic. My edits were not promoting a topic - they were about providing balance - adding information from reliable and reputable sources to an article that have been monopolized by just one single source. Reluctantbeijinger (talk) 03:54, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And I would appreciate your explanation of why you would delete all my contributions citing reliable and reputable sources while sticking to your single-sourced info. Reluctantbeijinger (talk) 03:56, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thanks for your advice. I'm getting more familiar with Policies and guidelines of Wikipedia by the hour. You are welcome to respond to my questions regarding why you deleted my contributions. You have yet to give a response, except for baselessly insinuating I have a conflict of interest. Thanks. Reluctantbeijinger (talk) 04:41, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
