A Question

Having looked at your contributions, it seems that most of your edits have been to "update branding" of various places, by adding their sponsored names. Wikipedia uses the name used in reliable sources rather than their official names, in particular Wikipedia does not promote sponsor names.

Do you have any affiliation to these companies? If so, then you have a conflict of interest, and if in addition the companies are paying you to "update their branding", then you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use on paid editing to disclose this.

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, Echaryk. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!

Conflict of interest

A simple Google search suggests you work for Cadillac Fairview, the company who sponsors these things you're editing.

You must disclose your affiliation, and read wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:52, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Discussion

There's a discussion started at Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board#Cadillac Fairview malls about whether CF/Cadillac Fairview should be added to these names or not. I assume you're interested in that discussion, but please first admit your obvious conflict of interest. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. freshacconci talk to me 14:51, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
