Hello Anachorism. 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 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:Anachorism. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Anachorism|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. Praxidicae (talk) 14:46, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Praxidicae:, I'm not being paid for my edits, but I am considering writing a postdoc on Factum Arte/Factum Foundation and do have contact with people who work for these organisations. If you'd rather I don't submit further edits to these pages, I won't - but I am very well informed on these subjects and they are certainly 'notable' topics in which there is broad public interest. Anachorism

Hi @Praxidicae:, I've posted the draft for review by other editors - I hope that's ok according to wikipedia's rules? Anachorism

Can you explain how you got permission for the photo you uploaded and what your exact relationship to the subjects you've written about is? Praxidicae (talk) 15:12, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

@Praxidicae: My background: I'm an art historian/cultural historian and have an academic interest in Factum Foundation and Adam Lowe; I've met Lowe and other Factum project leaders at events held by Factum and conferences. I'm doing research into Factum at the moment in preparation for submitting a postdoc application on the topic of Factum and facsimile production, and wanted to edit these pages because I meet a lot of people who have heard of Factum (it appears in the press a lot, and is taught about on university syllabi), but who have a very hazy knowledge even of the basic facts about its work. For the photo: I wrote to the press secretary for Factum Foundation and asked for a photo of Adam Lowe to use on the wikipedia page (and which could therefore be released under CC licensing), and they sent that one.

Hi @Praxidicae: I appreciate that you think I have a conflict of interest here; this is not the case. However, in reverting to previous revisions you are putting a number of errors back into articles - for example, I believe that you have linked the Adam Lowe mentioned on Factum Arte's page to the page of a different person named Adam Lowe. Perhaps you could fact-check - easy enough - and then make changes which don't mislead users?

File copyright problem with File:Adam Lowe1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Adam Lowe1.jpg, which you've attributed to Website is under copyright, can't take uploader's word. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
