A question about your editing

Hi there Patfacts. I'm a volunteer on conflict of interest related subjects and came across your contributions. I have a simple question: are you paid for the things you write about on Wikipedia? If the answer is yes, it's not the end of the world, but there are some things you will have to do to continue editing here. You can just reply here, I'll be watching for an answer. Thanks. - Brianhe (talk) 17:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Response to your question

Yes! I am staff at an agency and many of our clients want to better understand how they are supposed to utilize Wikipedia. One of the clients I've made edits for had outdated/inaccurate information on their page and asked me to make updates. For another client, we wanted to update a definition in Wikipedia so that it included an alternate definition of the term. I have a new client that is a branch of a larger company and the other branches have Wikipedia pages already so they would like to have one for their branch as well. I'd love to learn more about doing this for them in the right way! Any help you can provide is appreciated.
