Hello, I'm Motevets. I noticed that you recently removed content from Chris Tompkins without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. — motevets (talk) 16:32, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

@64.139.83.109: I wanted to follow up with you about my revert and hopefully provide some help. The reason I reverted your edits originally was because you were making edits to the page without citing sources. Wikipedia as a strong policy on editing the articles of living persons.

You also disclosed in an edit summary that you were an employee of the article's subject acting at the bequest of the article's subject and/or their partner. This is a clear conflict of interest. Wikipedia strongly discourages such edits; however, you can get the article updated by making a post on the article's talk page with your suggested edits and another editor will review them, provide feedback, and update the article accordingly. Make sure to include {{request edit}} at the top of your post.

Thank you for your contributions. I hope this isn't discouraging. We have policies like this to keep Wikipedia as reliable as possible. If you have any questions feel free to post on my talk page or visit the Teahouse. — motevets (talk) 20:32, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Recovering edits

View history (top menu) goes to a chronological list of all edits. Clicking on prev (left side) shows what was added or subtracted. This can be copied into your Sandbox to work on (add refs, etc.). Editors cannot go back to an edit and add an Edit summary. All the rewards you added to the table may be true, but will need references to be accepted. And as already pointed out, as a paid editor, you are limited to proposing specific changes at the Talk page of the article, so that other editors can decide to accept or decline.

Hello 64.139.83.109. 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:64.139.83.109. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=64.139.83.109|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. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:00, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
