Happy editing!
Hello NilsenAudun. 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 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 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:NilsenAudun. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=NilsenAudun|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.
Not sure if this is how I answer this post, but here goes.
This is what I wrote on the only article that I have tried to publish or edit.
"This article was written by me, Audun H. Nilsen, as an exercise to acquaint myself with Wikipedia-editing, and the topic was chosen because I find it of public interest, as well as of private interest."
Hello, NilsenAudun. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things

conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Polygnotus ( talk) 14:44, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello and
welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to

I'm not the one who replied to you, but since you posted in multiple locations I thought it'd be best to let you know you've got messages there. If you need anything, let me know. Cheers Relativity 22:55, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
You seem uncomfortable with templates, I don't know how to use them yet anyways, so I will ask you directly on your user page:
Are you denying that you have been paid to create the draft you've been working on?
Thanks in advance for an actual answer, as you've now dodged doing so multiple times. Chiselinccc ( talk) 06:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, NilsenAudun. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that
Draft:ABL Group, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months
may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please
edit it again or
request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 09:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
