Hello Amberpa820. 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:Amberpa820. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Amberpa820|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. 331dot (talk) 17:23, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

I have followed your directions and placed the paid user template on my user page. Please advise on next steps. Thank you. Amberpa820 (talk) 19:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

If you activate an email address on your account, I will email you a copy of the deleted article. Cullen328 (talk) 19:47, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

The deleted "article" Jeff Klinger

Frankly, it was so bad that it wouldn't do you much good, and certainly wouldn't help much in the creation of a real Wikipedia article, even if your boss is notable enough to justify an article. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:53, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
