Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Nilphamari, Bangladesh 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.

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:ZDetective, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=ZDetective|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:08, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

This edit summary gives the impression that you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting Nilphamari City, 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:ZDetective. The template

This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by {{{employer}}} for their contributions to Wikipedia.

can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:

Uw-paid1, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by InsertName for their contributions to Wikipedia.

. 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.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:58, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:20, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, ZDetective,

Thank you for creating Nilphamari, Bangladesh.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Hi ZDetective, although this page is from a move, I have retargeted it to the Nilphamari disambiguation page to avoid confusion with other geographic entities called Nilphamari in Bangladesh.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Uffda608}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

There's a discussion at ANI involving you that you need to be notified about. I did not create this ANI. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents 🚂ThatTrainGuy1945 ^{Peep peep!} 14:05, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 18:58, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. 🚂ThatTrainGuy1945 ^{Peep peep!} 12:40, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

I'm even going to ping you here: @ZDetective. Please reply here and on the ANI page. 🚂ThatTrainGuy1945 ^{Peep peep!} 12:42, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Blue-Sonnet. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usually unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Blue Sonnet (talk) 02:22, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
