User talk:Aloklondhe

Hello Aloklondhe. 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:Aloklondhe. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Aloklondhe|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) 14:09, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Re: your message on IP talk pages

Your website was spammed by a dozen IPs (as well as a few accounts), who all ignored requests and warnings that they should stop. There is no reason to remove those valid warnings, and you should strongly reconsider creating a Wikipedia article about your organization - Wikipedia is not social media or a promotional venue.

Hi @MrOllie, Thanks for responding. Yes, I agree with you completely. However, as I said these changes were made without our knowledge until I found out yesterday, and then I reached out to you. Yes, I'm working on creating a Wikipedia article about my organization. That's why I'm requesting you to consider removing Scalefusion.com from the blacklist.

To answer your question about the undisclosed financial stake, to be clear about it, I don't provide Wiki editing services. This means I'm not getting paid to make changes or create articles on Wikipedia.

I can assure you that from now onwards such activities won't happen through my account. So, please guide me on what should be the next step for me.

Kind Regards,

If you are an employee of this organization and are writing an article, you are a paid editor. There is no 'next step' about the blacklist - Wikipedia policy is that domains are not removed from the list at the request of the site owners. MrOllie (talk) 11:16, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

In that case, I'll add my financial status as a paid editor. I wanted to know how I might be able to get my domain removed from the blacklist. It would be greatly appreciated if you could guide me. Aloklondhe (talk) 12:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
