User talk:Ateeb Ali Syed

October 2024

Hello Ateeb Ali Syed. 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:Ateeb Ali Syed. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ateeb Ali Syed|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. 331dot (talk) 14:51, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have not editted anything as of yet, but yes I am being paid by the organization. The edits though are not against the wikipedia guidelines, they are rather about their detailed history, services, address and office locations, awards they recived. Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 18:34, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, then you are required by the Terms of Use to make the paid editing disclosure. Please follow the instructions provided above. 331dot (talk) 18:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, And I ahve to submit the edits to the talk page of the article? after that if all of the content and images are unbiased and informational, how much time will it take to publish? Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 21:54, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you should request edits on the talk page as edit requests.(there is a edit request wizard which may help) We cannot guarantee a timeframe in which your requests will be looked at by volunteers, but you can increase the chances of a speedy response by proposing incremental changes, one or two at a time. Don't propose a wholesale rewrite or other large change that will require a volunteer to invest a lot of their time. 331dot (talk) 22:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, Thanks. And for the images should I upload them on wikipedia common first, and then use them? and should I declare first at my user page about being paid? or after I make an edit? Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 22:36, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you actually took the images, and want to release them for use by anyone for any purpose, you may upload them to Commons. Its possible, but harder, to upload to Commons if you didn't take the image. You would then need to show that the copyright is explicitly compatible with Wikipedia's.

Yes, you should make the paid disclosure before you propose edits. 331dot (talk) 00:28, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks 103.235.78.201 (talk) 22:13, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The above pre-written message is for information and instructions only. 331dot (talk) 14:52, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this type of update can be added in the history section of an article?

2024: Periodic Solution celebrates the 50th Anniversary of its operations in the Pakistan.

And Periodic Solution celebrate the 10th Anniversary of services in USA. Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 19:12, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the article existed already, it might get such an update (although unnecessary, as their business starting date would have been given in the article). But the company itself has not been shown to be notable at Wikipedia yet, so I really doubt the anniversary alone warrants an article here. --CiaPan (talk) 11:03, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I was drafting an article with similar content type, Thus wanted to ask if this type of information is relevent to put as they are notable part of their organaization's history. Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 13:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I really don't think so. There are probably millions of companies worldwide who exist longer than 10 years and literally nobody cares. The anniversary may be a feast for the company, its management and employees, but customers and cooperating companies are interested in the current business state. They look for what the company does now and how well it does it; its life length means almost nothing for them (and even less for the rest of the world, which includes Wikipedia readers).

Please compare our articles about some long-lasting companies, like Japaneese Nikon (founded 107 years ago), Italian Lavazza (129 years) or US Procter & Gamble (187 years). Do those articles mention any anniversaries...?

I can imagine the company owners may use an anniversary as an occasion for some important changes in their business (e.g. rebranding, restructuring, fusion, expanding to a new segment of a market or a totally new market). But even then it would be the change in the business what's the notable event, not the anniversary itself. --CiaPan (talk) 09:10, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, I get what you mean, you been a great help. Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 12:23, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am writing an article

"Ahmed Kapadia

Early Life and Education

Ahmed Kapadia was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan. He completed his schooling at BVS Parsi High School and later earned a Master’s in Business Administration from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi. His father, Latif Kapadia, was a renowned actor in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, which exposed Ahmed to the arts and media from an early age.

Career

Kapadia began his professional journey in 1989 at MNJ Advertising as a client management executive. He later co-founded Awan & Kapadia, further establishing his presence in the advertising sector. From 1992 to 1995, he worked at Lakson Tobacco Company, where he organized promotional events, including Pakistan's first World Snooker Championship. In 1995, he joined Orient McCann Erickson as the Executive Director of Business Development, playing a key role in the repositioning of Coca-Cola in Pakistan through the "Jazba-e-Junoon" campaign.

In 1999, Kapadia founded Synergy Group, which has evolved into a leading integrated marketing communication group in Pakistan. The group comprises several specialized subsidiaries:

Synergy Dentsu: A full-service advertising agency.
Syntax Communications: A public relations company.
Synite Digital: A digital media agency.
Synchronize Media: A media planning and buying division.
Synergyzer: A bi-monthly marketing and advertising magazine.
Brandsynario: An online marketing and advertising portal.

Under his leadership, Synergy Group has received numerous industry awards, including Effie Awards, PAS Awards, and international recognitions like the ABBY and APAC awards. Ahmed Kapadia is also the current chairman of Pakistan Advertisting Association.

Awards and Recognition

Kapadia has been honored with multiple Pakistan Advertising Association (PAA) Creative Excellence Awards. He received Effie Awards for campaigns such as "Waves: Naam He Kafi Hai" and "KFC Feel Good Restaurant." In 2024, he was recognized as Pakistan's Dragon Master at the Dragons of Pakistan Awards.

Philanthropy

In 2007, Kapadia founded the Latif Kapadia Memorial Welfare Trust (LKMWT) in memory of his father. The trust focuses on providing free healthcare services, conducting disaster relief drives, and supporting underprivileged communities.

Publications

Kapadia is the author of "Executive Doodle," a book illustrating his wisdom and learnings over the decades. It is a collection of his narrations originally published in each issue of Synergyzer over the past twenty years."

Now this is the information i could gather, how should i go about it? I took help from Ai to form the content. we can do that right? Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 01:50, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CiaPan @331dot @Usernamekiran can anyone of you help me? Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 23:26, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Using an AI can be problematic for several reasons, see WP:LLM. It's best if you write yourself in your own words. If you feel that your English skill is such that you can't do that, you should probably edit the version of Wikipedia that is in a language with which you are more skilled.(Urdu?)

We don't talk about people's "professional journey" here. That's marketing speak. A Wikipedia article about a person must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage(not brief mentions or basic descriptions of their activities) have chosen on their own to say about the person, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 08:50, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I will rework it. Ateeb Ali Syed (talk) 13:46, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ahmed Kapadia (February 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Bonadea were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ahmed Kapadia and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
