Welcome

Hello Extrude Hone. 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:Extrude Hone. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Extrude Hone|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--VViking_TalkEdits 14:50, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Response from Extrude Hone

Thanks for deleting all edits I made. I'm one employee from Extrude Hone and the information added is the true history of the company. And come in addition to the really minimum information which was already provided and kept. There was nothing promoting any benefits there were only facts. Is adding a photo of the company building considered as promotional? Do links to Wikipedia industry page like automotive seen as promotional knowing that this is obviously the main business from Extrude Hone. If I compare the information provided to a page like General Motors I feel I can find the same facts, same structure. I do value Wikipedia spirit but I'was struggling to understand what happened to my edits. You provided the answer "financial interest and compliance" - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Extrude Hone (talk • contribs) 06:56, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I had missed the declaration that I'm an employee.

Extrude Hone, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Extrude Hone for their contributions to Wikipedia.

. Now corrected. Could you revert the deletion?

Please help me with... As an employee, I decided to edit the Extrude Hone page as the information was not correct and definitely extremely limited. My edits were removed. Sounds that I should have disclosed that I was "financially" connected to the company. So I have now declared that I'm an employee which means I'm obviously paid by the company. Would it be enough, correct to get the deletion reverted and my edits kept? Extrude Hone (talk) 12:47, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
