BelardEME

Welcome!

Hello, BelardEME, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Page deletion

Hello User:GSS, I don't know why are you suspecting me that much. I hadn't done anything wrong, I just created a page which I had interest in. I had gone through many links on Wikipedia regarding the guidelines; how to write; how to insert reliable references; and even I tried them on the live pages to get an insight into the editing.

I had spent much time on developing the page, gathering links and writing the content in accordance with the Wikipedia policies. I have nothing to do with any person; neither I'm going to get any remuneration nor the user name has been inspired by any company or person; I just thought of that name and tried that name.

I have submitted the article for review, please review it and let me know if I need to improve it. Thank you for your guidance. BelardEME (talk) 17:00, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help.

Your draft article, Draft:Crakmedia

Hello, BelardEME. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Crakmedia".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! JMHamo (talk) 20:15, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Crakmedia

This is obviously paid editing, so you will need to make a declaration of being paid, or explain your conneciton to the company. See below.--- Possibly (talk) 21:04, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello BelardEME. 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:BelardEME. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=BelardEME|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. --- Possibly (talk) 21:04, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Possibly You guys are following the footsteps of the editor GSS who labels every editor with paid editing tag. I have gone through contributions of GSS, he/she suspects every editor with paid editing. Wikipedia has been a renowned Encyclopedia due to imminence contribution of these editors who spare time and make their contributions regardless of any reward. If every editor had been labeled with paid editing, Wikipedia would not have been what it is today. Please bear in mind, there are other things like hobby and interest etc. that outweighs money. What I am doing is totally based on my interest. I have been blogging and know Crakmedia well, their contributions reading the web development, traffic monetization, internet traffic brokering for advertisers and publishers are known worldwide. I want to see them on Wikipedia because they deserve so. I have no affiliation with them nor I expect to get any remuneration. Thank you. BelardEME (talk) 18:46, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. If you would like your edits to receive less scrutiny, avoid using unacceptable sources like "24-7 Press Release Newswire", which are very often used by paid editors. See WP:RS for more information on sourcing. Also, small item but you do not need ^, between the references. Thank you.--- Possibly (talk) 18:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Possibly for your great guidance. I am not that expert regarding the references. I didn't know that reference is used by paid editors. I appreciate you help. I'll definitely exclude that website in future. BelardEME (talk) 19:20, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

OK. Good sources on Quebec would be Le Devoir (10/10), Le Journal de Montreal (7/10), La Press (9/10), the National Post (10/10), the Globe and Mail (10/10), the Gazette (10/10), Radio-Canada (10/10) and so on. PRnewswire is like 0/10 for quality. We do not want anything that is self-published by the company. --- Possibly (talk) 19:24, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Possibly: Let me clarify that as per off-wiki evidence BelardEME was hired through Freelancer.com and were paid $450 to create Crakmedia. I have archived the evidence and will be sharing those details with the concerned team. Also, it must be noted that as per their profile on Freelancer.com, they have a history of sockpuppetry so I would also ask for the page deletion under G5. Thank you.
