Proposed deletion of Telfar (brand)

edit
 

The article Telfar (brand) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Telfar brand logo.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Telfar brand logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:35, 7 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello Ancient lobster king. 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:Ancient lobster king. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ancient lobster king|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. S0091 (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I have a stated conflict of interest with my current employer. However, I also use this account to make contributions that are personally interesting to me. What activity is this regarding? It would be helpful to me if there was a less verbose, more specific account of what behavior "gives the impression [I] have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic." I have tried in the past to make edits for the Slingr page, which have been mostly rejected, which seems to be appropriate. If have not gone far enough to disclose this interest, let me know, happy to take corrective action. ancient lobster king (talk) 20:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi Ancient lobster king, it was in regards to Richard Wolstencroft but to be honest, its been so long ago I can't recall why I suspected a COI or paid editing. If neither COI/Paid applies, then please just confirm. S0091 (talk) 20:10, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Confirming. Neither COI/paid editing applies in this case. However, COI continues to apply for the Slingr page. ancient lobster king (talk) 15:15, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
