Hello HipHopWatcher. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Nelson Delgado, 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:HipHopWatcher. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=HipHopWatcher|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. scope_creep^Talk 03:03, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Paid editing? We're all here for free contributing on our own time to this is a public educational forum. This is not a blog posting, that is an unfair assumption both to myself and the articles I have contributed too HipHopWatcher (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

You guys unfortunately are severely disconnected from the hip hop community. Which is fine, it's not for everyone. However, the person in question is a known national radio personality with multiple contributions to radio, film and more! Do not make pre determined assumptions without having the correct information. Thank you! HipHopWatcher (talk) 18:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
