edit You have used sources that are either clearly noted as paid placement, unmarked press releases or marketing content, or blatant fake content farms which house unmarked SEO placement. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. These sources step far beyond those policies. Please carefully evaluate your references in the future, and ensure that you are in compliance with our mandatory paid editing disclosures. Sam Kuru (talk) 22:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello Nickywikip. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Tomasz Dowbor, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Nickywikip. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Nickywikip|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. Ca talk to me! 22:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Ca. I hope you are well. I understand your concern regarding whether the article might be promotional in nature, and I am aware of Wikipedia's guidelines. First of all, I would like to emphasize that I am not receiving any payment for creating this article, nor do I have any professional relationship with the subject. I am from Brazil, and the article was created solely for educational purposes, aiming to explore business figures who are engaged in philanthropic activities in Angola. In this context, I chose to write about the work of Tomasz Dowbor and considered including his profile in the encyclopedia.
Additionally, I apologize for including some references that may not have been entirely suitable, as I was unfamiliar with certain specific adequacy criteria. I appreciate the guidance, and I would particularly like to request a review of the links from the "PressReader" website, which were removed by another editor. I would like to understand better if these references are acceptable, given the notability of the sources. I reiterate my apologies for any possible mistakes and express my desire to contribute to this community constructively and in line with established standards. I am committed to making the necessary adjustments so that this article fully meets the required criteria. Nickywikip (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
