Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to SmartQ 5 when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:19, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
- Duly noted! Thank you for pointing that out :) I'll double check in the future. EdithVane (talk) 16:26, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
Hello EdithVane. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:EdithVane. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=EdithVane|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:15, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- Hi DoubleGrazing, thanks for the note. I have absolutely no financial or professional connection to any topic related topic that I wrote about, or intent to write about in the future. Nobody is paying or compensating me in any way --directly or indirectly-- for these edits. ~~~~ EdithVane (talk) 15:25, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- I see. But I assume there's a reason you're writing about Huang Wang's businesses – how are you connected to them, or him? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:32, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- Not in the slightest! :) I'm Europe based. I have no connection to China, or any kind of businessman anywhere really for that matter. The only reason I updated the SmartQ article was because I've owned one when I was young of these, and the old version of the article looked a bit rough and outdated. So I updated that. And then I saw that there was no Wikipedia article about the company Smart Devices, which I thought was notable enough, everything considered. During the research I kept bumping into this guy, and that he basically ended up creating Zepp Health, which I didn't know, and then I realized there was no article about that. Which I thought was strange because it did turn out to be a stock market noted company. So it was just mostly that through the research one thing led to another. Plus the fact that I can remember I actually Googled Zepp like a year ago and I remember noticing that there was no Wikipedia article. I just got curious how all these companies were connected and which people were involved in it. I do hope that my coverage was evenhanded though EdithVane (talk) 15:48, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you for explaining that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:53, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
