Hello Feminist Hulk. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to FiLiA, 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:Feminist Hulk. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Feminist Hulk|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. Amanda A. Brant (talk) 23:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Amanda A. Brant. I am not and I have never been a paid editor. I do not have a financial or any other kind of stake in the organisation that you refer to.
- I appreciate that the entry for FiLiA crosses with some contentious issues within the broader subject of feminism and my original edit was made to improve balance and objectivity, as well as to reference some information that is pertinent to understanding this organisation. Rolling back my edits in the way that you did suggests that you may have a stake in this space, especially when so much of the material that I included and you subsequently removed related to the many grassroots campaigns run by this charity and evidenced on their website. I will discuss this further on the article's talk page as there is clearly the need to resolve some differing points of view. Feminist Hulk (talk) 11:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
