Christine Leunens article - your comment on being paid or commissioned

Hello Izno, thank you for your message and the clarifications provided. I'm only a casual contributor of Wikipedia so your comments are helpful.

I thought it was possible to contribute to an article if you are not paid, which I'm not, and only if you provide reliable and verifiable sources of information.

You can see that whatever information I have provided is supported by evidence available on the internet and not based on my opinion or hearsay. All contributing notes and information are from verified sources that anyone can easily see on the page.

You will also notice that I am not the only contributor. I may be an important one, but that is probably due to the fact that the author was big in the city I lived in, and it is a small city in a small country where we know each other quite often, even if only from attending literary festivals.

I see now that Justlettersandnumbers2022 has added a "name-and-shame" type of banner on the article, despite me not being paid to add the information. This is quite a sad assumption and I would like to see it supported by any evidence showing that I am paid, in the same way I supported any contribution I made with available evidence.

I am not sure why this article is subject to this level of scrutiny, a 5 minutes stroll on the web would suffice to see that Christine Leunens is in many articles and news available to the common viewer.

I would appreciate to get some guidance on why I get to be treated like this and if there is still a problem, what to do to get the banner removed.

Thank you for your assistance.
