Paid editing is allowed, with conditions
editPer your statement "I would like to recreate our page", I am making the following notice.
Hello Mborgmisterek. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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.
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, 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:Mborgmisterek. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mborgmisterek|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. - Bri (talk) 22:09, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Bri. As you will note from the question you are flagging, there is currently no page to edit, so there are no edits for me to propose or even suggest to be reviewed. This was simply my first step in researching what had been posted historically, and what caused it to be deleted in 2014. During this same time, I have been researching the guidelines for creating a page as I have no intentions of doing anything without following all of the rules and guidelines of Wikipedia. Do you want me to add this disclosure that I'm employed by Merchant & Gould to my question to OrangeMike regarding the deletion of the page? I assume I can work directly with him to approve neutral point-of-view, fact-based content to be used to recreate the page. If this is incorrect, please let me know and I will connect with the appropriate person or group. Mborgmisterek (talk) 03:47, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
