editHello Lidiainfantem. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Headless content management system, 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:Lidiainfantem. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lidiainfantem|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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:35, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi! I am not getting paid directly or indirectly to make these edits. The headless content management edits come from me as an expert in the topic to improve the page and clarify it in simpler terms so that it's more accessible for non-technical stakeholders of different digital ecosystems.

- If you work for a company, it is a conflict of interest to add references that take the reader to their website. As it says above, this can be interpreted as black hat SEO. Please use other sources that are vendor-neutral. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:12, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hey, that is still not the case, but regardless, the Wikipedia policy allows citing one's own work, which I'm planning on doing for a few future edits. That is not reference spam and removing the citation makes the page worse.
- I know that my account looks brand new and therefor suspicious, but I was a heavy editor for Wikipedia (in Catalan) with a group of female jorunalists around 2016 in a project called WikiDones. I've just lost access to that previous account.
- I leave it up to you to reinstate the reference, but it believe it makes the page better.
- As a heads up, I'm planning on finding new citations for that page to improve it, but in the headless CMS space, it's likely only going to be content from CMSwire or Jamstack surveys. Lilybluestocking93 (talk) 10:25, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
editThere is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
Edit requests
editRather than edit an article that you have a conflict of interest on directly, you'll need to make an WP:EDITREQUEST on the article's talk page, e.g. Talk:Headless content management system specifying what needs to change and why. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:46, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
