editHello KevinArnoldNL. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Edy Marron, 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:KevinArnoldNL. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KevinArnoldNL|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. If you're not being paid, please correct me. If you are being paid, state so here. Thank you. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 18:28, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Draft:Edy Marron, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:KevinArnoldNL, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KevinArnoldNL|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 18:36, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Edy Marron
editHello, KevinArnoldNL. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Edy Marron".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 23:49, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
