Hello Morlandsummer1803. 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 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. 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:Morlandsummer1803. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Morlandsummer1803|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. --VVikingTalkEdits 14:20, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]


I have not been receiving compensation for my edits, however I am sorry if I worded anything to give off that impression. Is there a way for you to tell me what sounded that way so I could change the wording of my edits to fit what you would prefer to see?

Do you work for the Hirzel Canning Company & Farms ‎or Dei Fratelli Brand Tomatoes if you do that is considered paid editing. I have a hard time believing that you do not have some sort Conflict of interest. Sections like "Dei Fratelli still maintains its dedication to family and to their tomato products." are promotional in tone and are not appropriate for an encyclopedia. The block quotes also should not be there, the list of all of their products, [[WP:NOTWEBHOST|Wikipedia is not a Webhost. --VVikingTalkEdits 15:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
