Ferratum Group

I noticed that all your edits have been to Ferratum Group. As a result, I was wondering if you work for, on behalf of the company- if you do, then you are strongly advised to read Misplaced Pages's conflict of interest policies, WP:COI. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:16, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

I have read the policy thank you. Warlime (talk) 12:18, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

So that's a yes you are affiliated to them? Please could you state your affiliation. Are you an employee of the company, or are you being paid specifically to create this article for them? If you were paid to create the article, I urge you to declare it, in accordance with our our Terms of Use, particularly those dealing with paid contributions without disclosure. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:27, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes I am affiliated with them, I guess I didn't read the policy well enough. Warlime (talk) 14:19, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:39, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest, disclosure required

Hello, Warlime. We welcome your contributions to Misplaced Pages, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Misplaced Pages, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Misplaced Pages's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Misplaced Pages's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Brianhe (talk) 16:59, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

@Brianhe: This seems like an adequate disclosure, they're a company employee. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:11, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to emphasize that it's an ongoing requirement to disclose every COI contribution. Declaring this on the article's talkpage with the {{Connected contributor}} template is the best way to do this. Or to simply not edit the article directly, but discuss suggested changes on the talkpage. — Brianhe (talk) 17:16, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

I already tagged the talkpage with the connected contributor template. But I agree, the best way is not to directly edit the article. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:20, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

• Warlime, you disclosed here that you are an employee. Would you please add that disclosure to your Userpage User:Warlime? All this is needed is something simple like, "I am employee of Ferratum Group, which provides microloans on mobile devices" Also, would you please agree to not edit content directly about Ferratum going forward but instead use the edit request feature? Then we can wrap this thread up. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 12:06, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

• Ok will do. Warlime (talk) 12:11, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
