paid editing

Hello Pamcchange. 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:Pamcchange. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pamcchange|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. Theroadislong (talk) 15:53, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

I do not have a financial stake in promoting this topic nor am I a paid editor. Pamcchange (talk) 14:32, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

August 2021

As previously advised, your edits 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:Pamcchange, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pamcchange|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 21:39, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. You are ignoring these formal notices. You may not ignore them.

I do not have a financial stake in the promotion of this topic nor am I a paid editor. Pamcchange (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

You have said previously that you are a volunteer at C-Change-Conversations, Wikipedia considers that to be paid editing and you will need to make the required disclosure on your user page. Theroadislong (talk) 14:40, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure I understand how being a volunteer is considered a paid editor. What exactly do I need to disclose? Thanks. Pamcchange (talk) 16:59, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

As a volunteer you receive some form of benefit from the organisation, broadly construed. I volunteer for organisations. I get a good feeling from doing so, plus the benefits of belonging. Broadly construed, writing an article in them woudl be paid editing and I would make that disclosure. Even Mother Teresa got a benefit from her voluntary work Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 22:25, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Understood, thank you.

Pamcchange (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

You need to do this properly. Please read again the notices and do what they ask. The template you have used (above) is for the talk page of the draft itself.

{{paid|user=Pamcchange|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}} needs to go, filled out correctly, on your user page Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 08:06, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
