Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. --Carandraug (talk) 03:06, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

I looked at the articles listed at the Conflict of interest noticeboard with an eye at listing them at AfD. Most of the topics are well covered in press releases, but the Wikipedia articles seem to have been written mostly without the use of those. You are correct to try to avoid using sources that are not "independent of the subject" (such as press releases) as noted at WP:GNG. To improve your sourcing, you may want to use Template:Citation by putting each of your references in <ref>{{Citation |author= |publication-date= |publisher= [[]] |page= |url= |accessdate=April 5, 2013}}</ref>. I also noticed that there is more information in the sources you cited that could be added to the Wikipedia articles. For less well known topics, it is hard to find reliable and independent sources. When you do find such sources, it's best not to leave any meat on the bone. Also, I would be happy to set up User:MiszaBot on your talk page (see my talk page) to archive your talk page. If you set algo = old(1d), your talk page would be archived each day so you would not need to blank it. -- Jreferee (talk) 10:51, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Test automation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Forrester. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sandeep Johri CEO Tricentis.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Sandeep Johri CEO Tricentis.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Sandeep-Johri2017.png

Thanks for uploading File:Sandeep-Johri2017.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Train2104 (t • c) 01:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tricentis Tosca, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Orange, SAP and Mobile testing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tricentis Tosca

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tricentis Tosca, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 14:30, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Swtechwr. I work on COI issues in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Two things - a question and a caution:

First, you said here that you have a relationship with Tricentis. Would you please describe that relationship?

Second, you offered a barter deal with an IP editor. PAID described getting consideration for editing, and barter is a form of consideration. You are of course free to do that sort of thing but please make no mistake that it still falls under the PAID policy and the COI guideline. Does that make sense?

Looking forward to hearing from you. Jytdog (talk) 05:12, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw that you already withdrew the offer to barter. So much for that! Jytdog (talk) 05:29, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mandatory paid editing disclosure

You said here that you have some relationship with Tricentis but you have failed to actually disclose it so far and you are continuing to directly edit about the company.

Hello Swtechwr. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Swtechwr. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Swtechwr|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message.

Jytdog (talk) 20:26, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the association may be that Swtechwr is a software technical writer and has had interaction with the companies and so cannot claim that there is no previous interaction. The goal here is to confirm that you are not being paid to edit on Wikipedia (it's not a jealousy issue, it's understood that paid editors may be editing articles with a motivation to not apply a neutral point of view on an article). So, just to be clear, it would be a good idea to state if you're being paid to edit any articles. I accept that you attempt to edit objectively in all circumstances. 20:49, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Swtechwr (talk) 04:37, 28 November 2018 (UTC) I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits to Tricentis or to other software testing industry pages. I am not being paid to edit any articles.[reply]
