July 2020 edit

 

Hello Nipman. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Nipun Malhotra (social entrepreneur), 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 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. 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:Nipman. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Nipman|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. I note that your user name and the gentleman's foundation are the same Fiddle Faddle 11:14, 31 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dear Faddle, With due respect, I'd like to share that I am not being compensated directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever for this page or the edits. Neither do I expect to have any financial stake involved in this in the future. I had chosen this user name when I had started working on my first page. If that is the concern, I will change my username as per the Wikipedia guidelines. Also, in case my language seems promotional, I am willing to change it. Just to give you a background, my interest in disability as a topic comes from my personal family experience and I have been following some of the disability activists and their inspiring work since a very long time now. During the lockdown, I decided to write my first Wikipedia article on Nipun Malhotra as I found his work to be notable. Plus, it was a topic that had not been touched upon on Wikipedia. I added Project Delhi and Wheels for Life as I learnt about it during the Covid situation. I wish to explore more and write on several other topics of my interest that are not on Wikipedia yet. However, since this is my first article, I am not ashamed in admitting that I'm learning every day and there's a lot to learn honestly. :) Also, I just re-looked at it and I think if we remove Wheels for Life, there will be just one change i.e. Project Delhi which wouldn't be an unfair addition.

Thank you. That declaration meets Wikipedia's needs. We are very careful in case we are invaded by commercial editors. I am sure this felt like an unjust accusation to you, and I apologise for that issue. Even so we have to issue these firmly worded requests.
Your username is fine. It was simply a coincidence. Fiddle Faddle 11:08, 3 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
You don't need to apologize. I understand your concern. I'm sure I'll get better with time. Thank you! Nipman (talk) 05:48, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
