Hello Ondrejhenek. The nature of your edits 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:Ondrejhenek. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ondrejhenek|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. MrOllie (talk) 16:33, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear MrOllie, as far as I understand the aforementioned policies, I am not in conflict of interest (COI) because I am not in any way compensated to edit Wikipedia. I have to say I am employed by Kentico Software - a company creating the Kentico Xperience product - the page I was editing. But my role is a Product Owner, that means I lead programmers and discuss requirements with customers. There is no expectation of me to be promoting our brand in any way except in a way that is common among other employees. No, I am not in PR or marketing. Also, I have no expectation to be compensated for this contribution which I am making in my free time quite late at night. :)

Anyway my contributions were aimed at only updating outdated data. If there is any doubt that my contributions were not objective, please, feel free to revert my edits. I must admit I was not aware of the policies you mentioned and I do not want to cause any doubts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ondrejhenek (talk • contribs)

You are a Kentico employee, the requirements absolutely do apply to you. - MrOllie (talk) 19:49, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Alright, reading it again I confused "COI editor" and "paid editor". I am not "paid editor" but by these policies "COI editor". Therefore I am reverting my edits.

Or not. Thanks for the cleanup! Ondrejhenek (talk) 20:07, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
