User talk:Susanevenson

April 2024

Hello Susanevenson. 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:Susanevenson. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Susanevenson|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. 331dot (talk) 19:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Susanevenson!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I'm Dustfreeworld, one of the thousands of editors here. Below are some pages that you might find helpful:

While editing Wikipedia:

Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.

If you have any questions, check out the Teahouse or ask me on my talk page. Please sign your messages on discussion pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome! ----Dustfreeworld (talk) 19:18, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
