Hello KoenigWrites. 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:KoenigWrites. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KoenigWrites|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. ∯WBGconverse 12:10, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi Winged Blades of Godric, I have in fact already disclosed my status as a paid editor using that very same template that you provided, so I was a bit surprised to see this in here. You can view it through this link and you should also be able to see when I added it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:KoenigWrites In any case, this should be sufficient disclosure as stated on Wikipedia's content policy and code of conduct.KoenigWrites (talk) 21:39, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Who is your client? Where was the job-advertisement? You can't write articles in mainspace, directly but need to vet them through WP:AFC. ∯WBGconverse 09:55, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
My client was Anthony Conti, as noted on my User Page, I was asked to do this by word of mouth, so there isn't actually a job advertisement that I can point to. I was not aware that all articles had to be vetted through WP:AFC, but I will make note of this. KoenigWrites (talk) 21:15, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- You are still deceptive. We need to know the subjects that you were asked to work upon by Anthony.
- The format will be:-
{{paid|user=KoenigWrites|employer=Anthony Conti|client=Subject 1}}thus rendering
∯WBGconverse 05:45, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
KoenigWrites, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Anthony Conti on behalf of Subject 1 for their contributions to Wikipedia.

editdisclose your alternate accounts and/or explain me, as to how you came to know of WiR. ∯WBGconverse 12:14, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Women in Red (WiR) actually has its own page on Wikipedia, and has received considerable press which is how I heard of it. I am not really aware of it being obscure, in fact it seems that there is more or less of an effort to promote it.KoenigWrites (talk) 22:08, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Tax-Free Wealth (book).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:36, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
