Hello Sufikoin. 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 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:Sufikoin. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sufikoin|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. MrOllie (talk) 12:10, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi MrOllie, i am not connected with any subject. I am contributing assuming good faiths. Sufikoin (talk) 14:34, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Even if you are not connected with the subject, kindly stop adding promotional text to the article. MrOllie (talk) 15:14, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I didn't add any promotional text. Please clarify what is promotional? Adding Logo is promotion? Please answer. Sufikoin (talk) 15:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

The text you added was promotional - all of it. MrOllie (talk) 15:22, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

OK, that means adding references and logo are also promotional? Sufikoin (talk) 15:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

When I say 'text' I mean the words that appear in the article. Many of the references were also unusuable Sponcon, but that is a separate issue. MrOllie (talk) 15:32, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@MrOllie:, Please respond on your talk page. This is request. It will be an honor for me to learn from an experienced editor like you. Sufikoin (talk) 15:53, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

After so many requests MrOllie is not responding of my queries. I think i should take this discussion to ANI. Sufikoin (talk) 16:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, you absolutely should take this to ANI. And I will not be responding to the duplicated section on my user talk page any further, as I have already stated there. MrOllie (talk) 17:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to the article World Film Communities Network. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. Sam Kuru (talk) 19:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Dear @Kuru:, I am so curious to know the following things done by me in the page and MrOllie reverted these edits replying that this is promotion. I am asking to you because MrOlie is not ready to reply on this:

1. Adding Logo is promotional?

2. Adding citations is promotion?

3. Replacing Short description from "WFCN is a digital platform for film festival submission, professional networking within the film industry, and self-distribution of films. The platform acts as an online marketplace for film, media, and entertainment industry." to "Film Festival Submission Platform"? Is this also promotion? Sufikoin (talk) 09:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

As noted above and in my edit summaries, you've used a large number of unacceptable sources for your material. In many cases you've used obvious paid advertorials or user-generated blog posts to support claims of fact. This does not help the appearance of conflict of interest editing. I would focus on finding reliable, third-party sources that are not written by SEO/PR firms, and start from there.Sam Kuru (talk) 11:27, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
