Hello Noura2021. 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:Noura2021. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Noura2021|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. MarioGom (talk) 19:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi MarioGom Noura2021 is working with me on a GLAM project in the EU, I hadn't realised she hadn't disclosed this on her user page, which I've helped her correct, sorry about that. One of the things you might be interested in is them open licensing photos and graphics, I believe this is only the second time the EU has open licensed content. Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 13:21, 8 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
John Cummings: Thank you for the update. Noura2021: Thank you for adding the disclosure, and of course, thank you for the image donations and other contributions. Happy editing! MarioGom (talk) 14:41, 8 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Climate change

edit

Hello Noura2021. Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent addition to climate change. Given your interest in this topic, I'd like to invite you to have a look at our WikiProject: WP:PROCC. Climate change is a featured article. This means it needs to comply with a whole range of policies. One of the important ones is having a good structure. Some of the information you added was already in the article (biodiversity loss, disproportionate impact), in a more appropriate location. Would you be willing to integrate your information better into the existing text? Femke (talk) 08:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Femkemilene. Thank you for letting me know! I will work on integrating my information better into the existing climate change article and watch out with future additions. Thanks, @Noura2021 Noura2021 (talk) 08:41, 18 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Digital economy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Digitalization. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

COI check for European Investment Bank

edit

Hello, do you have any association with this bank? Most of your edits seem to relate to it. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 21:21, 15 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @MrsSnoozyTurtle! Thanks very much for your message. As mentioned on my user page, I am taking part in a European Union GLAM project on Wikipedia. I have made my recent edits regarding the most recent findings from surveys and publications that the European Investment Bank has published as I found they were fitting in the context of certain articles. Please let me know if any of my additions need to be removed or if I should focus on anything specific in the future.

Orphaned non-free image File:European Investment Bank official logo.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:European Investment Bank official logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:09, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

The file has now been added to European Investment Bank and is now in use. Noura2021 (talk) 12:42, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I was looking over some of your edits today and have two concerns (as noted on those articles):

  1. You seem to often add overly detailed content (e.g. some survey results from a survey in Europe) to high-level articles (e.g. carbon footprint). I don't think that is appropriate. Go more for the smaller sub-articles I would say.
  2. I think I've just spotted a copyright violation. You copied this sentence in this edit: "Wastewater treatment plants are therefore a vector for spreading antibiotic-resistant bacteria to people, which is a matter of public concern." from here. As far as I can see that EIB publication is not under a compatible licence. You could encourage EIB in future to publish under CC BY 4.0 licence. Then you could copy directly. But I've deleted that sentence now. EMsmile (talk) 16:45, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also this sentence which you had added to climate change mitigation is breaching copyright, isn't it?: "The EIF is committing €250 million with five equity funds to mobilise €2.5 billion in climate action and environmental sustainability investment across Europe. The funds will invest in food innovation, water, renewable energy, energy efficiency, the circular economy and a sustainable blue economy." Copied from here. EMsmile (talk) 17:00, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi, thanks for flagging and removing the sentences. I will be more careful with such content next time and review my recent contributions as well (although I haven't seen anything else not rewritten entirely). with the second sentence, I didn't want to miss any details but I understand details are sometimes really not needed.
I do have a question - could I add the numbers from the data (for ex. about funding amounts, percentages) to high profile articles, or do you suggest to avoid such data entirely and add it to smaller articles instead? Noura2021 (talk) 17:36, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I added a message to the Talk page. I see that the file is indeed in use on European Investment Bank but that the resolution has been replaced. Is this why it is seen as not used in any articles? Noura2021 (talk) 08:00, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Your edit to Blue economy has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. I see you've been warned before for copyright violations. This is not okay. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 00:54, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
