April 2024[edit]
Hello Victoria Gregor. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Betiton Casino, 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 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:Victoria Gregor. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose ā e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Victoria Gregor|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken ā you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits ā 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. Jeraxmoiraš (talk) 18:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Jeraxmoira!
- I understand what your concerns are provoked from, considering the industry that draft is about and the fact that I am a new user. However, having used Wikipedia for years as a source of information when writing school and university theses, I understand the importance of it as the biggest online form of an encyclopedia. That is why I wanted to join the community and contribute to it by myself.
- The increasing popularity of the gambling industry, its regulation in more and more countries and the growing number of people who place bets on casino games and sports, makes the industry very competitive and full of non-reliable and dodgy operators that are not safe for peopleās personal data. Having all these things in mind, what we could do about it is to create more articles about the licensed and reliable operators, so that players would at least know where it is legal and safe to wager and will avoid possible harm.
- So, the reason I decided to write about Betiton is because I saw that its awareness is growing fast. I researched it to check whether it is regulations friendly. After seeing that it is licensed on the official websites of a few regulatory bodies, I created the draft in Wikipedia. Victoria Gregor (talk) 12:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
