== Discussions in Wikipedia - indenting and signing == |
|||
Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. |
|||
In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in ''front'' of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this <nowiki>{{od}}</nowiki> in front of your comment. This also allows you to make it clear if you are ''also'' responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread. |
|||
And at the ''end'' of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas <nowiki>"~~~~"</nowiki> which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit. That is how we know who said what. |
|||
This is as basic as "please" and "thank you" and not doing these things is as rude as not saying "please" and "thank you". [[User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] ([[User talk:Jytdog|talk]]) 21:13, 17 January 2018 (UTC) |

Revision as of 21:46, 24 January 2018
Welcome!
Hello, KarimKoueider, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page EgyptAir have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! Jetstreamer Talk 15:15, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
Conflict of interest in Wikipedia
Hi KarimKoueider. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Your edits to date appear to be those of a paid editor. I am giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, KarimKoueider. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with any of the companies about which you have edited, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 03:34, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Paid editing
![Information icon](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/25px-Information.svg.png)
Hello KarimKoueider. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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:KarimKoueider. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KarimKoueider|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Template:Z159 Jytdog (talk) 20:29, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Jytdog: I am not hired or paid by anybody. Egyptian editor trying to improve pages in the middle east and the rest of the world
- Your editing is very promotional and focused entirely on commercial subjects. Please reconsider your response. Jytdog (talk) 20:36, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
@Jytdog: So because im editing corporate pages im paid by all of them ? Disgusting accusation, im contacting wikipedia for gross accusations. That was my final answer. Im not hired or paid by anyperson or company or state
- If you read the notice above and what I wrote, I have not said that you are being paid, I said that your editing very much looks that way. Thanks for replying; I will open a discussion at COIN and will post notice of that here after I do. Jytdog (talk) 20:43, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 20:51, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- The thread is at the bottom of that page, Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#KarimKoueider As I noted there, you may just be a "fan" but your editing is indistinguishable from someone with a conflict of interest. I would have been happy to discuss this further and explain what you should be doing, but based on your response that would not be productive. Jytdog (talk) 20:53, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
@Jytdog: I do not exclusively edit Egyptian business, Sisecam a company you listed, is turkish. I advocate business in general with proof that I have edited Japanese businesses extensively before but tend to focus more on Egyptian business as they are very badly edited and their pages are inaccurate, outdated and with a lot of bad infobox formatting. I am sorry if my reply previously suggested that I would "not be productive" but you insisted after I claimed im not affiliated with anything. I took your response the wrong way, I would gladly take advice as im new to Wikipedia
- If you approach the discussion at COIN like you are doing here, it would be helpful for you and everyone else. If you are still open minded and able to edit after that discussion is complete I would be happy to teach you some stuff. Let's see what happens at COIN. Jytdog (talk) 21:04, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Removing maintenance tags
Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Egyptian Exchange, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 20:55, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Edit war warning
![Stop icon](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Stop_hand_nuvola.svg/30px-Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png)
Your recent editing history at Egyptian Exchange shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Jytdog (talk) 20:56, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
January 2018
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Visa Inc, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Do not change logo size and delete pic without giving any reason. David J Johnson (talk) 21:28, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
@David J Johnson: Thank you for the advice KarimKoueider (talk) 21:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
@KarimKoueider: Then please follow the advice you have been given, instead of edit warring. Your actions are liable to a block. Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- @David J Johnson: I gave a reason as requested, im not edit warring KarimKoueider (talk) 21:39, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- That is not a valid reason. David J Johnson (talk) 21:41, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
