April 2019

Hello Sputterman20. 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, 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:Sputterman20. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sputterman20|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. I know you have been going through Articles for Creation, but I would advise that you need to declare whether you are making paid edits.

Hi, I'm not being compensated for my edits! I disclosed I am connected to Marianne Boesky Gallery-the article I submitted-though in my profile. Not sure if I missed some other disclosure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sputterman20 (talk • contribs)

Sputterman20 thanks for responding. It was just to make you aware that you had to disclose if you were being paid for your edits. If you are not then please ignore the message above. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 20:17, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CCDreamy Jazz. Hi Sputterman20, Greetings. Non-paid COI editor still need to disclose the COI with the affected page. You have done that on your user page but you have dont done that on the affected talk page yet. Pls see WP:DISCLOSE and use the template to disclose your COI on Talk:Marianne Boesky Gallery. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 03:55, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CCDreamy Jazz. Hi, I've now edited the talk page for Marianne Boesky Gallery. Thanks! Sputterman20 (talk) 17:10, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
