Hello, WheelofTim!

[edit]Hello WheelofTim. 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:WheelofTim. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=WheelofTim|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) 09:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, I am a visiting research fellow for HDFF but am not being financially compensated in making this page but more so wanted to as I noticed the organization doesn’t have one. What must I do to proceed WheelofTim (talk) 10:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- If I understand it correctly(and quite possibly I do not), what you describe is equivalent to an unpaid internship, which still counts as "paid editing" because the intern is compensated with the experience of the work that they can put on a resume. If I am in error, I welcome you correcting me.
- Even if you are uncompensated, you should still declare a conflict of interest(click to read). 331dot (talk) 16:07, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, I have added COI disclosure to my User page, how else should I proceed with this? WheelofTim (talk) 02:03, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Human Development Forum Foundation
[edit]Hello, WheelofTim. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Human Development Forum Foundation".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted.
