Mandatory paid editing disclosure

Hello Userpb1978. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious 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, 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, 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:Userpb1978. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Userpb1978|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jytdog (talk) 14:06, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

moved reply here that was left on my talk page in these diffs Jytdog (talk) 13:06, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

jytdog,

not sure this is the right place to leave you the reply to your message. i am new to this.

i have edited the posted for nitisinone. I am a volunteer working with parents whose kids have this ultra-rare disease called tyrosinemia type 1.

I recently attended a camp for the families in North Carolina (Victory Junction) that one of the comments from the families was that they were not up to date on the new medications and the differences between them. They said that when they receive the diagnosis, Wikipedia was the first hit when they wrote tyrosinemia or the name of the medication, so i thought it would help to update the page.

I am also thinking on updating the pages for:

tyrosinemia

products:

orfadin

nitine

nityr

MDK-nitisinone

PR Nitisinone Tablets

companies:

Sobi

MendeliKABS

Cycle Pharmaceuticals

Conifarma.

as these are all related to the same disease

I am also bilingual (Spanish) and given that in the US there are some families that can only speak Spanish I was thinking I could help translate the pages mentioned above to provide the information.

I hope this is OK?

thanks for your comments and I would appreciate your advice.

Paula Saini

ps i can also work on providing the references! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Userpb1978 (talk • contribs) 09:52, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Thanks for your note. Would you please disclose if you any connection with any of those companies or with NOTA? You added spam to Wikipedia (embedded links to the company website - not the product page, but the main page) which has nothing to do with helping people understand a drug. You also copy/pasted material from Cycle's marketing content which is also not OK to do in Wikipedia. But would you please disclose any connections? You also didn't answer directly, as to whether you are being paid, or expect to be paid, for editing here. Would you please do so? Thanks. (you can reply here, just below this) Jytdog (talk) 14:15, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. Not related to nota, not the companies. I am not expecting to be paid either. Where are the changes made to the page. I was planning on adding the references but they are gone. The data I put on the page are comparison between the 3 prescribing information of the drug. No marketing messages. This is factual info that is publicly available at the fda site. I didn’t add the references yet, but I was planning on doing it. Userpb1978 (talk) 07:38, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Userpb1978! Your additions to Healthcare Businesswomen's Association have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
