[edit]
Hello Shirley ac. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Wei Han, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.
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, and if it does not, 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:Shirley ac. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Shirley ac|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. bonadea contributions talk 09:35, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello there,
I am a staff of Bliss Media, and I would like to make updates for Bliss Media and CEO Wei Han. Please notice I am not what you called "Black Hat SEO". Shirley ac (talk) 10:04, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hello and thank you for disclosing your status as a paid editor. Please note that you have to make the disclosure described above, to your user page. You also should not edit any of the pages relating to Bliss Media or its representatives; instead, please use the article talk pages to suggest changes, using the {{request edit}} template to do so. This enables unaffiliated editors an opportunity to see and evaluate your proposed changes, and implement them in a neutral manner. Also note that you should not remove the COI template from the articles. More information here. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 10:47, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
