Disclosure of employment
editHello JabSVBS13. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Heritage Restoration and Design Studio, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.
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, and if it does not, 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:JabSVBS13. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JabSVBS13|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. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:07, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hello. I have to admit I'm a little suprised to be flagged for my affiliation, as I had already stated it in both the talk page of my company's article and on my user page. I'm not trying to hide my affiliation from anyone and specifically asked for non-partial editors to review my sources and make whatever changes they deem appropriate. I added the code you gave me to my user page. Is there anything else I am required to do at this point to be cleared of the charges? JabSVBS13 (talk) 02:13, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- To be clear, you were not being accused of any wrongdoing. It was simply unclear from your earlier declaration whether or not you were being paid for your efforts. The distinction might seem slight, but it is an important one. Now that you've added the extra code, you are in compliance with the paid editing policy, so thank you.
- Apart from a few minor adjustments to the references, I don't see any major issues with the article. I'll remove the conflict of interest tag shortly. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:47, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

editHello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:William Reddick, from its old location at User:JabSVBS13/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 21:47, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation: William Reddick has been accepted
editYou are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
- If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
- If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
