Hello creffett (talk), I hold a position within IFMSA but my work is strictly volunteering-based. I do not get paid anyway wit having this changed. I am just fulfilling what my job description says, I am responsible for social media and online platforms. I am not paid and won't be. Please accept the changes since it took me 5 hours to cross check the information to have it reliable and most updated possible for consultation by anyone interested. - 31st August 2019, 20:18 GMT.

That's actually still considered "paid" for Wikipedia's purposes (per WP:PAID, Interns, on-loan staff, and unpaid workers, including volunteers, are deemed to be employees. If they are directed or expected to edit Wikipedia as part of their tasks, they must make a paid-contribution disclosure). Please follow the procedures at WP:PAID regarding disclosing your employment, and then review the conflict-of-interest procedures at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest on how to edit articles. creffett (talk) 23:46, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello JoseCX09. 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 List of IFMSA member organisations, 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 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:JoseCX09. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JoseCX09|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. creffett (talk) 01:52, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
