YouTube linkingHi. If you believe there is a justification for adding links to YouTube videos in an article, it is a good idea to - at a bare minimum - ask first on the talk page, and give an explanation that includes evidence that the link does not run contrary to the WP:COPYVIOCITE policy (e.g., show that YOU are the person who produced the video, and hold copyright yourself, or some notice within the video that says it is not copyrighted material); WP policy specifically warns editors against adding links to YouTube. If everything checks out, and other editors support the inclusion, that's when you should go ahead - but not before. Peace, April editathons at Women in RedJanuary 2020 at Women in Red

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:John Cummings. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:
Hi US-Verified, I'm not sure if you are aware but Template:COI requires that "if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article. If you do not start this discussion, any editor will be justified in removing the tag without warning." Please can you describe what evidence you have that I have been paid to create the article there. If you don't do this the rules state "This tag may be removed by editors who do not have a conflict of interest after the problem is resolved, if the problem is not explained on the article's talk page, and/or if no current attempts to resolve the problem can be found".

Recent edit reversionIn this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy. I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask. I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:10, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk! 01:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC) DYK for Muskan AhirwarOn 22 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Muskan Ahirwar, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that nine-year-old Muskan Ahirwar started a library for the children in her slum that now contains more than 3,000 books? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Muskan Ahirwar. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Muskan Ahirwar), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

--Lajmmoore (talk 20:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC) via MassMessaging Image license questionJohn, you seem to have added two FAO stats images, File:Production_Of_Cereals_(2021).svg and File:Main Traded Cereals, Top Importers And Exporters (Quantities, 2021).svg to Cereal, and I believe you add them and similar images regularly to other articles. You've stated on Commons that the license is CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO Deed. However, FAO's policy states Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 IGO (CC BY-NC- SA 3.0 IGO), which is not sufficient for Commons. Which is correct?

Z1720 (talk) 02:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC) RevertHere is the part of the article [1] that mentions what you recently removed from TikTok: "The real reason so many people are making posts like these is because they think they have worked out a way to game the TikTok algorithm, thereby increasing potential traffic to their monetised OnlyFans accounts."
