  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Valerio Cardamone, from its old location at User:Lucas76520/sandbox/Valerio Cardamone. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055talk - contribs 22:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

 

Hello Lucas76520. 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:Lucas76520. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lucas76520|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. 331dot (talk) 21:55, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, sorry but I don't undestand your accusation. I am obviously not paid for creating a wikipedia page. I don't know how I can prove you but it's true. And I don't know why a sport athlete would pay for a wikipedia page, what is the business behind ? What is the financial interest ? Please explain me because I don't understand your accusation and I don't appreciate it. If it's your way to welcome and talk to new contributors who want to get involved in wikipedia and to increase their communication skills, I don't congratulate you.Lucas76520 (talk) 23:06, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

If you aren't paid, then I apologize. But you expressed a need for an urgent review and a common reason others want speedy reviews is because they are paid editors. I see that you moved your draft without waiting for the review. 331dot (talk) 23:33, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
An athlete might not specifically pay for a Wikipedia article, but they pay for agents to manage their "internet presence" and media. 331dot (talk) 23:38, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

It's because I want to increase the visibility of this athlete who deserves it and I have worked so many hours on this first page. Understand me it was my first wikipedia project so I can be impatient that somebody tells me if I had respected everything well. But it's OK I understood the process and I promise you I'm not paid, I even didn't know we could. I have published it because one contributor (Nathan) has reviewed and allowed to do it. The proof is that I am not yet in my fourth day after creation. Sorry again for my impatience.Lucas76520 (talk) 23:45, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Again, I apologize, and I wish you well with your future efforts. 331dot (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

No problem thanks for your help and your advices.Lucas76520 (talk) 23:54, 28 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
