User talk:JVC 3

April 2022

Hello JVC 3. 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:JVC 3. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JVC 3|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. CUPIDICAE💕 20:40, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am a member of URNU Edinburgh, however, I have not, and never expect to be payed for any of the contributions I provide.

I created the page and am providing edits out of passion for the organisation, and of my own free will; I haven't been asked by anyone to contribute, and do not intend to inform anyone in the organisation of these edits for personal benifit.

It does not benefit me in any capacity to contribute to this page. JVC 3 (talk) 20:48, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit reversion

In 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) 16:19, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi S Philbrick, apologies for the copyright infringement, I hadn't intended to infringe on any copyrights, nor did I know I was. Thank you for pointing this out, and I will go and fix the article accordingly (sans any copyrighted material). JVC 3 (talk) 19:45, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out to me. I do a lot of copyright review and my experience is that most such infringements are accidental. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. S Philbrick (Talk) 21:17, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your reversion of my contribution

Hello JVC 3,

can you explain why you reverted this contribution of mine in University Royal Naval Unit East Scotland? I've modified to things: The expression "due to that fact that" sounds ugly; "that fact that" is even listed at Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings/Grammar and miscellaneous. Then, two of the notes in this article end with a full stop and the third one without any full stop, this makes no sense for me.

Hi Cyfal,

Sorry about the reversion, I was quite tired and must have misread it, I'll change it back now. Regarding the full stops, I hadn't noticed that they were inconistant, will fix that too!

Thanks for pointing it all out :) JVC 3 (talk) 00:07, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your explanation and the reversion of the reversion! Best regards --Cyfal (talk) 05:18, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
