Hello Lewis UNESCO SC. 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:Lewis UNESCO SC. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lewis UNESCO SC|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. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:59, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
Dear Cordless Larry,
Thank you for flagging this issue.
I am employed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
I am being compensated for my work on the UNESCO Science Report, which is a not-for-profit open access publication (CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO), freely available for download online.
My job is not to promote UNESCO but to disseminate the findings of the report - to improve the store of knowledge on science, technology and innovation around the world.
The report itself is written by a team of 70 independent experts.
I shall post the mandatory disclosure on my user page. Please could you provide some guidance as to how I should proceed?
With thanks and regards,
Jake
- Thank you. There are instructions in my message above (to use
{{paid|user=Lewis UNESCO SC|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}at User:Lewis UNESCO SC) and further guidance at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure#How to disclose. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:30, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Science and technology in Panama moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Science and technology in Panama, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
