User talk:Sukhaniseema1993

June 2023

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Numerai, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 04:49, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do have reliable sources for all information added here.

Please let me edit my references. Sukhaniseema1993 (talk) 04:53, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sukhaniseema1993. 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 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:Sukhaniseema1993. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sukhaniseema1993|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. This is the third account in a row that was created and immediately only edited Numerai. We suggest you edit any other article and not this one. David Gerard (talk) 16:21, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey David

I was indeed employed and was unaware of this policy. I have taken your advice and published this. I will be making edits now on this page and few more after this.

I would also like to add, though I am financially motivated to add the information. I have maintained the sources and information unbiased. Sukhaniseema1993 (talk) 12:48, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Numerai, you may be blocked from editing. A speaker profile blurb on a think tank website is not a reliable source for biographical statements. Belbury (talk) 21:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Sukhaniseema1993! Your additions to Numerai have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Standard cryptocurrency/blockchain notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

you should have had this already. Please be mindful that any article even tangential to this area is under harsh sanctions due to past issues with commercial editing - David Gerard (talk) 17:12, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editing for Dylan Bodkins

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Lets.Custodio making paid/ChatGPT edits. Thank you.

Paid editing is accepted here provided it's disclosed - as you have done. You should know, though, that Mr. Bodkins has other editors creating problems for our volunteers to clean up. Take a look at the thread I cited above -- folks are getting riled up. I'd careful. We absolutely don't want any AI-produced content from Mr. Bodkin's robot A.

Thankyou for the information.

I was not aware of other editors working on the same project. I have tried to respect the guidelines of making edits.

Can you also help me understand why my profile is being blocked in this situation. Sukhaniseema1993 (talk) 13:30, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what the project Dylan's assigned you is? What edits does he want you to make to Numerai? 2600:1700:87D3:3460:AD81:3108:7B98:E20F (talk) 19:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey.

After our initial interaction and brief training, he had asked me analyse current Numerai page and redraft it with reliable primary and secondary sources. In the initial stages, when I wasn't editing the page properly, Swift Researcher (I Later found it was Dylan) had deleted my edits himself.

To the best of my knowledge, his intention was to understand Numerai since he is planning to participate in the tournament, but he never asked me publish unbiased content. When I did raise some concerns about the ambiguous information about Numerai practices, he promptly asked me to publish that as well.

I have discontinued my work with him and have no financial motivation for saying it but I do believe he wanted more information about this hedge fund, but I don't have answer to this: "Why use Wikipedia as a platform rather than just making all of us collect information for him". Something I also wondered. Sukhaniseema1993 (talk) 06:33, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
