Sarajevo Film Academy moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sarajevo Film Academy, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I take your point about notability. I guess I wasn't sure where to put this info that I found about "film.factory". Béla Tarr is a world famous director, and I thought his stint, creating a film school which featured many other prominent filmmakers, was worth an entry. Would you recommend that I just put this info in the Sarajevo School of Science and Technology or the Béla Tarr article? Dauntbares (talk) 20:58, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dauntbares. 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:Dauntbares. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Dauntbares|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. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 19:07, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I updated my bio to include some info. I am definitely not getting paid for this. I just recently saw the movie Sátántangó and noticed that there were some things I could add to Wikipedia based on my own googling. Please let me know if the bio I put up was sufficient or if there is anything else I can do to assure you I'm just a casual user. Dauntbares (talk) 20:49, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
