Rami Cassis moved to draftspace edit
Thanks for your contributions to Rami Cassis. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Cleo Cooper (talk) 17:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Cleo Cooper, thanks. I have added sources to establish notability and resubmitted the draft for review. Lazyapes (talk) 20:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

April 2024 edit
Hello Lazyapes. 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:Lazyapes. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lazyapes|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. GSS 💬 14:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @GSS, I have disclosed my paid editing and from now I will disclose each. Let me know if there are any further requirements. Also, confirm if I can edit from now. Appreciate your help! Lazyapes (talk) 23:04, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your honesty in disclosing your paid editing. However, it's important for transparency that you provide a link to your profile where you advertise your paid editing services, as outlined in WP:PAID. Could you please share the link to where you advertise your paid editing services? Additionally, according to WP:COI, it's strongly discouraged to directly edit affected articles or create new articles in the main namespace. Instead, you should use the articles for creation wizard so that they can undergo peer review. GSS 💬 03:44, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
