User talk:MY2017

June 2022

Hello MY2017. 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:MY2017. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MY2017|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. PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:28, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

no, you can make requests on the talk page as per WP:PAID. PRAXIDICAE🌈 18:42, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any information on there about using talk pages - please advise how to move forward. MY2017 (talk) 19:00, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

this section covers it and has the relevant links, which you should read thoroughly. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:02, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated user page MY2017 (talk) 19:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't what I'm telling you to do, you need to go to the talk page of the article and make your requests per the directions in the link I gave you (which also links to a longer page with more detailed explanations of how to do so.)

As you are paid to do this, you should at least have some understanding of how to do what you're being paid to do, no? Please read the instructions and relevant policies. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:06, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
