Speedy deletion nomination of NordVPN (software)[edit]
Hello Minor stab,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged NordVPN (software) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of NordVPN (software)[edit]
Hello Minor stab,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged NordVPN (software) for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:14, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

July 2019[edit]
Hello Minor stab. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to NordVPN, 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 compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, 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:Minor stab. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Minor stab|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. — Newslinger talk 21:25, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
Response July 2019[edit]
I can confirm that I haven't received compensation for editing this article nor do I expect receiving any. I use NordVPN daily and one day noticed that its Wikipedia article was very limited. So I started editing the article and it became a sort of a pet project. I do try to stay as objective as possible, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minor stab (talk • contribs) 11:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've removed the paid editing tag from NordVPN. — Newslinger talk 03:06, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
