Disclosure of employment

Hello CECMarketing.Intern. 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 Cayman Enterprise City, 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:CECMarketing.Intern. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=CECMarketing.Intern|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. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:18, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

April 2019

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "CECMarketing.Intern", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents the name of a business that implies shared use. Usernames must represent a person and not a company. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 18:39, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, CECMarketing.Intern, appears to be a role account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. DlohCier ekim 19:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Drm310: My apologies for giving that impression but this was a volunteer account so that I could learn how to use Wikipedia and I am not getting paid to update. CECMarketing.Intern (talk) 15:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you are an intern at this company, it does not matter if you are being paid monetarily or not. Our paid editing policy considers an internship itself as compensation.

Please state clearly if you are employed by or have an affiliation with this company, and what the nature of that relationship is. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:54, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed and unblocked. Please remember, it's not relevant whether or not you are actually getting paid for your edits, you have still been violating WP:COI and WP:PAID.
