editHi Grimmjow0030! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Perplexity.ai that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Deltaspace42 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- The minor edit was removing an extra new line which I accidentally added while making a big edit. Sorry for not specifying. Grimmjow0030 (talk) 05:18, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

editHello Grimmjow0030. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Perplexity.ai, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Grimmjow0030. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Grimmjow0030|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. Amigao (talk) 16:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Amigao, no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I'm just a normal user of the product and all the edits I have made are non-promotional edits till date. There is no COI here, not sure why I've been flagged as a connected contributor on Talk:Perplexity.ai. I kindly request you to please remove it as I have no connection with the entity in discussion here. Thanks Grimmjow0030 (talk) 17:47, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
