World Society for Virology

The content you created is now at Draft:World Society for Virology. I see you have a copy of it on your user page. Your user page is intended for you to tell other editors about yourself as regards your editing activities here, not for projected Wikipedia articles. So:

You should delete the misplaced draft that you've put at User:Ahmed S. Abdel-Moneim
You should instead use it to declare that you have a conflict of interest regarding the WSV. Maproom (talk) 17:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

Please read the edit summaries that explain why the categories that you insist on adding or removing should not be added or removed. Please learn about categorizing before edit warring over them. Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 20:09, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ahmed S. Abdel-Moneim. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page World Society for Virology, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 17:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Randykitty,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out to address the recent editing activity on Wikipedia that led to the blocking of my editing privileges and IP address.

First and foremost, I want to express my understanding of your comment regarding my edits. I appreciate your commitment to upholding Wikipedia's policies and maintaining the integrity of its content.

I would like to take this opportunity to provide some context regarding the edits I made. As the founder of the World Society for Virology, an organization I created from scratch, I am deeply passionate about serving the virology community worldwide. The Society operates on a completely non-profit basis, solely dedicated to advancing the field of virology and supporting virologists globally.

My intention in editing Wikipedia was not to contravene any policies or guidelines but rather to accurately document the existence and mission of the World Society for Virology. Since I do not wish to enlist the services of a third party to create an article about the Society, I sought to provide factual information directly.

I understand that Wikipedia's policies are in place to maintain the reliability and neutrality of its content. My aim was solely to contribute valuable information about an organization that I am deeply involved with and passionate about.

I am open to any guidance or suggestions you may have regarding how best to proceed in ensuring that the information about the World Society for Virology aligns with Wikipedia's standards. I am committed to working within the framework of Wikipedia's policies to make a positive contribution to the platform.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your response.

Warm regards,

Ahmed Ahmed S. Abdel-Moneim (talk) 07:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
