AhmadKhan518

Welcome!

Hi AhmadKhan518! I noticed your contributions to Usman Wazeer and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I appreciate your editing to the article but you need to make your editing in compliance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. For now I've noted you're adding content to the article but it lacks proper citations to support that. On Wikipedia while you add something you must add proper inline citations. Unverified content can be removed. WP:REF

Secondly you're writing in your edit summaries that you belong to Usman Wazeer's social media team which I believe is conflict of interest and it's discouraged here. WP:COI Anyhow you need to cite sources for what you add to article at the very least. You can ask for anything about it here or on my talkpage. Thanks

As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

Happy editing! USaamo ^(t@lk) 12:32, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, AhmadKhan518. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Pahunkat (talk) 14:49, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

February 2021

Hello AhmadKhan518. 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:AhmadKhan518. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AhmadKhan518|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. Pahunkat (talk) 14:49, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for the guidance but i am not being compensated in any way whatsoever Being new to Wikipedia i did these edits thinking that they would be approved if only i was seen as an official entity. T This is a learning experience for me and i really appreciate you helping me out. But i am not being paid but just trying to help out an athlete i admire with a solid profile. By the way the page required more citations but i have gathered as many sources as i could have to remove it from being an orphan. What should i do now? but im still searching. Thank you AhmadKhan518 (talk) 08:18, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
