[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello [[User:Curb Safe Charmer|Curb Safe Charmer]]. I am certainly not a paid advocate. I wanted to see how Wikipedia worked. I tried to keep the links very relevant, and I wanted them to add value. But I'm sorry if I still crossed any lines. I can undo any edits that don't keep with Wikipedia's standards. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. 22:23, 7 August 2021 (UTC) |

Thanks
Your edit has inspired me to write a paragraph at Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder#Society and culture. Hopefully, since it's now citing a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article, other editors will realize that this subject isn't just the opinion of a non-expert reporter.

Hello, I'm Curb Safe Charmer. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello Writerguywiki. 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:Writerguywiki. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Writerguywiki|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. Template:Z159 Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:05, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
