Paid editing is restricted on Wikipedia
[edit]Hello Wikieditor4hire. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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.
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, 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:Wikieditor4hire. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Wikieditor4hire|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:12, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Malik R. Dahlan. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg
.
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption
. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

- Additionally, the {{OTRS pending}} template does NOT need to be included in on the page that the image is used on. Only the image page needs the template. Does that make sense? --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:48, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Giggle Inc.
[edit]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 Giggle Inc., requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Https---mygiggle.us-login-suiteonline-partials-gigglelogo.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}}
(to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}}
(to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 15:46, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
Paid editing
[edit]Hi, I don't know if you're still making articles in exchange for pay but please review our WP:COI guidelines and only submit articles through WP:AFC instead of creating them in mainspace. Thank you. – Thjarkur (talk) 16:28, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

[edit]{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. Seraphimblade Talk to me 23:16, 1 January 2020 (UTC)- You were warned yesterday to refrain from creating further articles in mainspace due to your conflict of interest. Today, despite that, you proceeded to create Giggle, Inc. in mainspace, in violation of our rules against promotion and undisclosed paid editing. If you are willing to agree to fully comply with all paid editing requirements, including to refrain from directly editing or creating articles in mainspace and to declare each time you are paid, I'd be willing to consider an unblock, but paid editors are expected to be familiar with Wikipedia policy and not to be a drain on volunteer time or make a mess others have to clean up.
