Non-free image use

HiGibmul. The licensing of each image you see on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every image file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these file are commonly referred to as "non-free images". Non-free image use is highly restricted and each use of such an an image must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is :WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in :WP:UP#Non-free files, non-free content such cannot be used in your user sandbox. You can simply re-add the files after you've moved the relevant content to the article names. Even non-free content use in articles, however, is not automatic and you will need to provide a seperate specific non-free use rationale explaining how the way the file is being used meets all ten non-free content criteria. This can sometimes be hard to do because of the contexual significance required by :WP:NFCC#8 is not always justified in each and every case. If you have any further questions about non-free use, feel free to ask them here, at :WP:MCQ or at :WT:NFC.

Finally, you should be careful about copying large chucks or entire articles into your sandbox for the reasons explained in :WP:CWW. Even though each edit we make to Wikipedia is released under a :WP:CC BY-SA, proper attribution needs to be given to the person or persons who originally added the content. Normally, this attribution can be found in the page history of the article, but when articles or large chucks of articles are moved to other places, this record is lost and the content appears to have been the sole creation of the editor who moved the content. Much of the time this is something which can be fixed by making a dummy edit or a talk page post saying where the content originated from, but it can be treated as a copyright violation in some cases if proper attribution is not given. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:43, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Paid editing, etc.

You've added :Template:connected contributor (paid) to the talk pages of various sanbox drafts you currently are working on. Are you being paid by someone to create articles about these topics? If you are, then please carefully read through :WP:PAID because paid editors are required to do certain things by Wikipedia's TOS. Even if you're not being paid, but are still connected to the people or things you're writing about in some way, then you might be considered by the Wikipedia community to have a conflict of interest. If that's the case, please a take a look at :WP:COI and :WP:PSCOI for some general information about the kinds edits considered acceptable for COI editors to make. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:53, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

: Yes, I am being paid to update the Yoshiki article but I am ensuring that it is being done in an objective manner. I am a working newspaper journalist and used to this type of thing. Gibmul (talk) 12:25, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

::You definitely need to comply with :WP:PAID. Also, you should be aware of :WP:NOTNEWS because Wikipedia articles are not necessarily written in the same manner as a newspaper article might be. If you are being paid by the subjects of these drafts, then you and they must understand that Wikipedia articles are written about subjects, not for subjects; so, I strongly suggest you look at :WP:OWN as well as because neither subjects or articles nor article creators have any final editorial control over article content. Most editors do their best to adhere to relevant policies and guidelines when editing, but editing is collaborative which means that one's preferred version is not always the version determined through :WP:CONSENSUS. If you are planning on making major changes (i.e., anything not :WP:MINOR) to the :Yoshiki (musician), you and are being paid to do so, then you should follow :WP:COIADVICE and discuss the changes on the article's talk page to see if there's a consensus for them.

::Also, there is something you wrote in this edit sum that you probably should also clarify. You wrote {{tq|This is purely a sandbox article which is currently being edited jointly}}, but this is the only account editing the article. Is this account being shared among multiple individuals? If that's the case, then you need to be aware that this is something not allowed per :WP:ROLE and :WP:NOSHARING. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:42, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

:::I'm sorry if I misled you about the sandbox article, I was limited by the wording allowed in the comment space. The article is being edited by me only but I am using the sandbox as a proof page for others to ensure the updates are correct and objective.Gibmul (talk) 14:28, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

::::I'm not sure who you these "others" are, and it's also not clear who your employer or employers are. I think you would be better off proposing any major changes you are being paid to make to existing articles on the respective article's talk page per :WP:COIREQ instead of directly adding/revising the content yourself. Proposing such revisions on the article talk page will give others watching the article a chance to offer feedback and clean up things if necessary. Anything changes you make to an article, can literally be revised or removed by anyone anywhere in the world as soon as you press the "Save changes" button, so discussing major revisions first is, in general, good colaborative editing practice. Anyway, I have started a discussion about this at :WP:COIN#Paid editing by User:Gibmul to see if any others can provide further guidance to you so that you do not find yourself having issues with other editors. COI editing is not expressly prohibited, but it is highly discouraged because it can lead to some serious problems. It's something viewed suspiciously by quite a large part of the community, so it's better to establish some clear ground rules from the beginning so you know what kinds of things the community considers acceptable in your particular case. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:40, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

:::::Okay what exactly would you like me to do? Regarding the Yoshiki (musician) article I am editing for the agent of the performer who is definitely not trying to promote but just to bring his article up to date. You may or may not be aware that Yoshiki is a very major musician in Japan and has very wide recognition. Hence he is seeking the services of a professional writer Gibmul (talk) 15:28, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

:::::: I am aware of Yoshiki and his popularity in Japan, but his agent might not be aware that the Wikipedia article is not written for Yoshiki; it's written about Yoshiki and neither Yoshiki or anyone connected to him as any ownership rights over the article's content. Agents, etc. typically are hired to act in the best interests of their clients, which isn’t always in the best interest’s of Wikipedia. Any changes you are getting paid to make to the article, can be undone by others just as easily if a consensus is not established to make them. That is how Wikipedia works and what makes it quite different from a website controlled by Yoshiki's management team. This doesn't mean Yoshiki and his agent are completely powerless when it comes to all things Wikipedia, and there are options available as explained in :WP:BLP#Relationship between the subject, the article, and Wikipedia. However, other than cases where it's deemed that direct editing by the subject or those connected to the subject is either considered to be minor or essential to remove any clear-cut violations of :WP:BLP, it's better for changes to be proposed on the article talk page first for assessment by others to see of there's a consensus to make them.

:::::: I think it would be better for this discussion to continue at :WP:COIN in the thread I’ve started. Doing so will make it much easier for others to participate. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:23, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

File:Ambox notice.svg There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. The thread is Paid editing by User:Gibmul. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:44, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of interest and paid editing in Wikipedia

Hi Gibmul. I work on conflict of interest and advocacy issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Thanks for disclosing that you edit for pay sometimes, for example that you have been working on the Yoshiki (musician) article for pay.

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 prior 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 or expect to be paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first (and just the first), step. With regard to your paid editing work, the WP:PAID policy obligates you do disclose who is paying you, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation.

Would you please reply here, and write down for each draft and each article, who is paying you (or who you expect to pay you), who the client is, and any other affiation? For example, for the Yoshiki article, it ~could~ be,

  • article = Yoshiki (musician), employer = (name of Yoshiki's agent or agency -- whoever is actually paying you), client = Yoshiki, affiliation = hired through Freelancer. (if you are a freelancer hired by Yoshiki's agent)

It could also be:

  • article = Yoshiki (musician), employer = DigitalMarketing, Inc, client = Yoshiki, affiliation = none. (if you are an employee of a digital marketing or PR agency that was hired by Yoshiki's agent)

It could be:

  • article = Yoshiki (musician), employer = DigitalMarketing, Inc, client = Yoshiki, affiliation = hired though UpWork. (if you are contracting for a digital marketing or PR agency that was hired by Yoshiki's agent)

Would you please provide that list below? Once that is done, we can get the disclosure done correctly and then we talk about the "prior review" step. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 18:43, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

:Hi,

:Thank you for letting me know what exactly I must do, when I tried to insert the client information into the template "{connected contributor (paid)}" it would not allow me. If there is a better template I would welcome it.

:The situation is quite simple - I was hired by an individual called David Cirone through Upwork to update both the Yoshiki and the Silent Siren articles. He is very displeased that they are both reverted since he is very keen, as their publicity agent, to keep the articles current but not promotional. Indeed the Japanese public are seeking the updates and he is trying to be fair to them. If there is any further requirement to paid for articles I will be happy to comply.

:If you require me to edit the updates further I will be happy to do so.Gibmul (talk) 18:22, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

::Thank you for replying! Please don't fuss over formatting yet - I can help with that as we go.

::First would you please clarify - are you being paid by David Cirone personally (out of his own bank account) or by his marketing firm, Resonance?

::In addition, you are working on a bunch of other things:

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 1 Novica

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 2 >> Draft:Ximble

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 3 >> Draft:Droplr

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 4 >> Alex Cubis

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 5 (blank)

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 6 - Silent Siren

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 7 - Bidsketch

::* User:Gibmul/sandbox 8 - Indow

::These all look like commercial edits. Please be aware you must disclose if you were paid already, are being paid, or expect to be paid. Would you please disclose regarding the other articles? (employer, client, and affiliation)

:: I do understand that one of your clients is impatient but I want to get you well oriented. Your long term well being in Wikipedia is more important. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 23:49, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Example disclosure for your user page

If you want you can copy this onto your userpage (User:Gibmul) to get the disclosure done for the first two:

;Paid editing disclosures

Once you copy this I will delete this - it only needs to be on your user page. Jytdog (talk) 00:05, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

:I have copied those two items to my User Page.

:Regarding the David Cirone questions - I never heard of Resonance and have no idea what account I was paid from. He just pays Upwork and they pay me as a journalist.

:Would you like me to follow suit with the other articles.Gibmul (talk) 12:16, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

::I have redacted the template above - it only needs to be on your userpage.

::About Cirone see [http://jrock247.com/about/ here] for example: "David Cirone is the founder of Resonance Media, specializing in promotion and management services for Japanese music artists...."

::Yes -- please do that for all the articles. Once that is done we can go to the next steps.

:: Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 14:34, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

:::I have added the disclosures to my User page.Gibmul (talk) 14:54, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

::::Thanks! OK time for next steps, will do that in a new section. Jytdog (talk) 15:09, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Prior review process

So... thanks again for disclosing!

As I noted above, there are two pieces to COI management in WP. The first is disclosure. The second is a form of peer review -- prior review, really. This piece may seem a bit strange to you at first, but if you think about it, it will make sense. In Wikipedia, editors can immediately publish their work, with no intervening publisher or standard peer review -- you can just create an article, click save, and voilà there is a new article, and you can go into any article, make changes, click save, and done. No intermediary - no publisher, no "editors" as that term is used in the real world. So the bias that conflicted editors tend to have, can go right into the article. Conflicted editors are also really driven to try to make the article fit with their external interest. If they edit directly, this often leads to big battles with other editors.

What we ask editors to do who have a COI or who are paid, and want to work on articles where their COI is relevant, is:

:a) if you want to create an article relevant to a COI you have, create the article as a draft through the WP:AFC process, disclose your COI on the Talk page with the Template:Connected contributor (paid) tag, and then submit the draft article for review (the AfC process sets up a nice big button for you to click when it is ready) so it can be reviewed before it publishes; and

:b) And if you want to change content in any existing article on a topic where you have a COI, we ask you to

::(i) disclose at your userpage as you have already, and then also at the Talk page of the article with the Template:Connected contributor (paid) tag, putting it at the bottom of the beige box at the top of the page; and

::(ii) propose content on the Talk page for others to review and implement before it goes live, instead of doing it directly yourself. Just open a new section, put the proposed content there, and just below the header (at the top of the editing window) please the {{tlx|request edit}} tag to flag it for other editors to review. In general it should be relatively short so that it is not too much review at once. Sometimes editors propose complete rewrites, providing a link to their sandbox for example. This is OK to do but please be aware that it is lot more for volunteers to process and will probably take longer.

By following those "peer review" processes, editors with a COI can contribute where they have a COI, and the integrity of WP can be protected. We get some great contributions that way, when conflicted editors take the time to understand what kinds of proposals are OK under the content policies. (There are good faith paid editors here, who have signed and follow the Wikipedia:Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms, and there are "black hat" paid editors here who lie about what they do and really harm Wikipedia).

But understanding the mission, and the policies and guidelines through which we realize the mission, is very important! There are a whole slew of policies and guidelines that govern content and behavior here in Wikipedia. Please see User:Jytdog/How for an overview of what Wikipedia is and is not (we are not a directory or a place to promote anything), and for an overview of the content and behavior policies and guidelines. Learning and following these is very important, and takes time. Please be aware that you have created a Wikipedia account, and this makes you a Wikipedian - you are obligated to pursue Wikipedia's mission first and foremost when you work here, and you are obligated to edit according to the policies and guidelines. Editing Wikipedia is a privilege that is freely offered to all, but the community restricts or completely takes that privilege away from people who will not edit and behave as Wikipedians.

I hope that makes sense to you.

I want to add here that per the WP:COI guideline, if you want to directly update simple, uncontroversial facts (for example, correcting the facts about where the company has offices) you can do that directly in the article, without making an edit request on the Talk page. Just be sure to always cite a reliable source for the information you change, and make sure it is simple, factual, uncontroversial content. And disclose in the edit note, something like "This is a noncontroversial change, paid for by X on behalf of Y". If you are not sure if something is uncontroversial, please do the "prior review" process.

Will you please agree to learn and follow the content and behavioral policies and guidelines, and to follow the prior review processes going forward when you want to work on any article where your COI is relevant? Do let me know, and if anything above doesn't make sense I would be happy to discuss. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 15:14, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

:Yes, I think I understand. If I need clarification I'll get back to you. Gibmul (talk) 17:11, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

:When will my updates on Yoshiki and Silent Siren be reverted back? Gibmul (talk) 17:21, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

::This is a volunteer project. Trying to build a business around paid editing in Wikipedia and being a good citizen is difficult from a business perspective, as you cannot promise clients that you will be able to meet any deadline (so you have to educate clients about that) and you cannot depend on a cashflow.

::The best way to get paid edits accepted, in my experience, is:

::*use the "request edit" template above

::*offer only relatively short bits of content at once -- asking volunteers to review a huge swath of content is daunting

::*when you offer content, make sure it is very high quality -- very well sourced, completely supported by the source provided, very neutral, and with the citations well formatted, so that the volunteers don't have to do a bunch of additional work on it. I do understand that your clients will want you to add promotional material but you cannot do that in Wikipedia per WP:PROMO and other policies. Promotional copy with be rejected. The nature of the content you generate and propose is another negotiation you need to have with clients, along with the deadline thing.

::That is the best I can offer you. It is really hard to be a white hat paid editor on Wikipedia. I respect that, but that is what it is. Jytdog (talk) 17:42, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Draft:Bidsketch]]

File:Ambox warning pn.svg

{{Quote box|quote=

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

|width=20%|align=right}}

A tag has been placed on :Draft:Bidsketch, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Draft%3ABidsketch|deleting administrator}}.

Another COI Inquiry

User:Gibmul - I have reviewed this talk page and your edit history and your previous discussion with User:Jytdog. I see that, after being instructed to make the paid editing disclosure, you did make the disclosure on the drafts that you had already created. You don't appear to have made that disclosure on User:Gibmul/sandbox 10, User:Gibmul/sandbox 11, User:Gibmul/sandbox 12, and User:Gibmul/sandbox 13. Wikipedia is primarily a volunteer project, and the requirement that paid editors disclose their involvement is not optional. This reminder applies to all articles that you write for your clients, and it appears that your activity in Wikipedia is exclusively that of a paid editor. Maybe you didn't take the advice of Jytdog sufficiently seriously. Maybe you should. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:02, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Gibmul. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Droplr".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Droplr|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Your draft article, [[Draft:Vert Rotors]]

File:Information icon4.svg

Hello, Gibmul. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Vert Rotors".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Vert Rotors|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Dolotta (talk) 18:14, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
