User talk:Sbarrax

Paid editing.

Hello Sbarrax. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to JFrog, 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:Sbarrax. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sbarrax|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. GSS (talk|c|em) 08:31, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

@GSS: I'm not paid by JFrog in any way. I noticed that Artifactory and its company were not on Wikipedia, so I put them. That's all :-) sbarrax (talk) 08:45, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Artifactory

Hello Sbarrax,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Artifactory for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

@GSS and Arthistorian1977: I'm not a frequent wikipedia contributor, I know, but I don't understand why there are all IT Companies like Oracle, Microsoft and so on, and if I put JFrog I shall be paid for it... And Artifactory, it's kind of standard de facto... I mean, you can object my contributions are very poor and I will tell you "Yeah, sorry, you're right", but you can't act like these two items are only a matter of mine. sbarrax (talk) 13:49, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi sbarrax, in order to get your article accepted you need to provide at least evidences, that the product or/and company are notable. In case of JFrog, another editor moved it to Draft space and not deleted, since it's clearly a notable company, but the state and tone of the article couldn't allow it to stay in mainspace. As for Artifcatory, I am not sure, it need to be an independant article, but part of JFrog article. So, I advice you to bring Draft:JFrog to a state, when it accepted and submit it, using AfC process. Cheers. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 13:55, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

And by the way, noone is paid here. We are all volunteers, promoting knowledge. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 13:56, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

@Arthistorian1977: I know you're volunteer, and I was volunteer evangelist for Free Software Foundation Europe, so what's the point? I mean, thank you very much for exhausting answer about the article, I'll fix it asap following your indications. Very kind of you (no irony), thanks. sbarrax (talk) 16:52, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:JFrog

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

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 and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{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. Rollidan (talk) 22:25, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
