User talk:David Silva Italia

Hello David Silva Italia. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Tsuriel Sdomi, 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:David Silva Italia. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=David Silva Italia|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. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 07:15, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello Spiderone,

Thank you for your message and for your vigilance in maintaining Wikipedia's integrity. I would like to state clearly that I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. I have no financial stake in this topic.

My interest in Tsuriel Sdomi's trajectory stems from a personal and academic interest in Holocaust memory, contemporary Israeli-Italian cultural relations, and the "Ragazzi di Villa Emma" history. As a new editor, I have been working hard to find high-quality secondary sources (such as RAI, Simon & Schuster, and AGI) to ensure the draft meets the General Notability Guideline.

I understand how my focus on a single, well-documented individual might give the wrong impression, but I assure you my goal is purely to contribute to the encyclopedia's coverage of international literature and humanitarian history.

I have recently rewritten the draft to ensure a strictly neutral point of view (NPOV) and removed any language that could be perceived as promotional. I will wait for your guidance or the reviewer's feedback before making further edits to the draft.

Best regards, David Silva Italia David Silva Italia (talk) 07:18, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
