[edit]Hello, I'm MrOllie. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 15:01, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @MrOllie. Thank you for the feedback. I apologized for the edits I made. I'll be more careful next time and make sure the edits will be neutral. Thank you. Itsmeusagialways (talk) 13:31, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

[edit]Hello Itsmeusagialways. 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 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 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:Itsmeusagialways. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Itsmeusagialways|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. MrOllie (talk) 14:50, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @MrOllie! How are you? Thank you for informing me about the Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirement. Regarding this matter, I have already added the PAID template to my userpage. Thank you. Itsmeusagialways (talk) 12:46, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
