History of Globalization Research Group moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to History of Globalization Research Group. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it has too many problems of language or grammar. 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. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 18:08, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello Petitefluerm. 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:Petitefluerm. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Petitefluerm|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Dear DoubleGrazing,

I would like to confirm that I am not receiving any kind of compensation for my wikipedia activities. It was not my intention to write this article as advertisement. We are working at the same university with some of the members of the research group and just wanted to have the group appear in wikipedia (I am not a member of the research group). Please let me know, if it would be possible to publish this article some way or the topic itself excludes it from wikipedia.

Thank you for your help! Petitefluerm (talk) 10:41, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

If you work at a university, and you edit articles related to that university, such as this one and Béla Tomka, then you certainly have a general conflict of interest (COI) in those subjects, and most likely also the specific paid-editing COI, even if you are not explicitly paid to edit Wikipedia. It makes little practical difference which type of COI you declare, but you must declare one. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:52, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
