Erelu Kuti

Thank you for contributing to Erelu Kuti. However, Wikipedia has strict guidelines when it comes to biographies of living people. Any change of this nature requires an inline citation from a reliable source. Please read those links before contributing further. Since the edits were problematic, I reverted them. Thank you. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:51, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

I also reverted similar changes to Abiola Dosunmu. If you can demonstrate that the spelling you offer is supported by the majority of recent reliable sources, please say so on Talk:Abiola Dosunmu. I have that page on my Special:Watchlist so I will see it. I also have this, your user talk page, on my watchlist so I will see when you reply. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:57, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Paid editing MUST be disclosed, the best way is on your "user page"

Update - the editor is NOT being paid to edit Wikipedia but he does have a WP:Conflict of interest - see comments below. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:16, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Bauba011. Thank you for disclosing that one of your clients is HRH Erelu Abiola Dosumu, whose Wikipedia autobiography is at Abiola Dosunmu and who is mentioned on another page you have edited Erelu Kuti.

Until your recent declaration on Talk:Abiola Dosunmu#On Abiola Dosumu (permalink]), you had not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Please read this page carefully. Continued compliance is a legal requirement. You are not yet in compliance with respect to the article Erelu Kuti. The easiest way to come into and remain in full compliance is use the {{paid}} template on your user page, User:Bauba011, as outlined below.

The rest of this message is extracted from a "form letter." For the original text of the form letter, which includes statements designed for editors who had not yet disclosed they are paid contributors, see Template:Uw-paid1.

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:Bauba011. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bauba011|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. . davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:08, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Kindly note that I am not being paid directly or indirectly for these edits. I mentioned that I could assist in correcting the misinformation on the page dedicated to her by editing and/or contacting Wikipedia directly as the 74 year old woman cannot weave her way through that process. I am working on an entirely different project with her, hence my referencing her as my client. I reiterate, I am not being paid for this whether directly or indirectly. Thanks. Bauba011 (talk) 16:40, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

I also read what you put up on the Noticeboard and feel that I have been unfairly quoted/referenced. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of the world and as such, must contain the right information. The subject in question was not even aware that any such page was being created for her. And when it’s come to the notice of her and her family, some points were slighted and corrections proffered. Kindly refrain from terming me a Paid Editor. I only raised the issue because I believed I could help and it was necessary to. I am not being compensated directly or indirectly, you must know this.

I will correct the record. You still a "connected contributor" and have a very clear conflict of interest. Please read WP:Conflict of interest and edit accordingly. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:55, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

(following up) I have updated the talk pages of both articles and the notice on the noticeboard. I also put a prominent correction at the top of this section. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:16, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
