User talk:LAC Logistics Automation

Hello LAC Logistics Automation. 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 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:LAC Logistics Automation. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=LAC Logistics Automation|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. Whpq (talk) 15:51, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah this is way over my head now.

Basically i work at LAC, I wrote a blog peice on zero line conveyors (not paid just part of the job) and in my research for the aricle there was nothing about ZLP in wikipedia so i thought I would try and add an entry for others.

I looked at the 'template' for to declare employment but it's way too complicated, think I will give in, happy to have article deleted.

• Are you certain you want to use your real name as your username? You may, but it is discouraged. 331dot (talk) 16:27, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  No i'm sure you are right, I clearly dont know what i'm doing here. Shall I just have a random username?

  Just going through some other comments. LAC Logistics Automation (talk) 16:39, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Your username need only be individualistic in nature. 331dot (talk) 18:37, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blimey ive made a right mess of this!!

Thank you for you're guidance. I work for the company and own the website that its sources from but now I understand how it should be written. I should have taken more time to understand all the finer details of making a draft. If this is deleted as I believe it should be because it is incorrect and i dont need to contest. Can I essentially start again Or will I be banned etc? Thanks LAC Logistics Automation (talk) 15:47, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See the note above about paid contribution disclosure. You can start again, but you will need to successfully appeal your block. Nobody can predict if you will be banned. You actions, and compliance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines will determine that. -- Whpq (talk) 15:54, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
