Hello Iovatehealth. 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 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:Iovatehealth. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Iovatehealth|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. MrOllie (talk) 22:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Iovate's Wikipedia

Hi there,

You've reached the Wikipedia page of an Iovate Health Sciences employee. This account to provide up to date information on our brands including MuscleTech, Hydroxycut, Six Star Pro Nutrition, Purely Inspired and XP Sports. The editor of this account has a financial stake (employee) in the company, though NOT a shareholder. This person is merely doing a job that was asked of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iovatehealth (talk • contribs)

First of all, why did you edit your initial comment [1] to remove mentions of several people sharing this account? Was it a mistake, was this change an attempt at concealing shared use of this account? Only one individual - the same individual - can access this account for its entire lifetime. Each person must have their own account for their individual use only.

Secondly, an employee editing an article about their employer is a paid editor, according to Wikipedia policy. Mandatory disclosure in the prescribed manner by the policy - located here - is required.

Thirdly, your boss should not be instructing you to edit your own company's article. Editors with a conflict of interest should make edit requests on the article talk page, not edit the article directly. We don't care what a company's representatives have to say about it; we care what third-party writers from reliable sources have chosen to publish about it. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 23:07, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:54, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
