Hello BoeingEngineer. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Boeing Commercial Airplanes, 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:BoeingEngineer. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=BoeingEngineer|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. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mys 721tx. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Type 052D destroyer, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mys_721tx (talk) 16:04, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Type 052D destroyer, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mys_721tx (talk) 16:07, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

If you have credible references. post them!

Can you stop removing multiple references that all state the same contents? BoeingEngineer (talk) 16:10, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Type 052D destroyer, you may be blocked from editing. Daily Mail is deprecated and can only be use as a reference to itself. Mys_721tx (talk) 16:12, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello BoeingEngineer! Your additions to Main Centre for Missile Attack Warning have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:35, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Chinese Academy of Sciences

Please verify the data you added to the budget and subsidiaries in Special:Diff/1105938617. The values in the source document seem to be in RMB, not dollars.

Also, when adding references/source, please do not use bare URLs. Use one of the Wikipedia:Citation templates. Thanks. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 15:43, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes indeed they are in RMB.

I used the latest USD to RMB conversion. I believe we should keep the number in USD for better presentation.

BoeingEngineer (talk) 16:45, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

It's better to just use the currency and value in the source. It avoids the issue with fluctuating exchange rates, and in so doing retains accuracy, satisfies WP:INTEGRITY, and avoids concerns about WP:OR.

Also, please us the citation templates and add page numbers. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 15:39, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

It is on page 6. BoeingEngineer (talk) 15:40, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I will appreciate it if you can add the page number.

Cheers. BoeingEngineer (talk) 15:42, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I just changed the currency to RMB BoeingEngineer (talk) 15:56, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
