Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Prom may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Hello PattyFrankson. 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:PattyFrankson. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=PattyFrankson|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) 15:24, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining, and no, I am not receiving compensation. I have been tasked with updating this page and can provide any information necessary. This is an old login we use, but my name is Ray Lodato and I am the Sr. Director of Digital Marketing / Brand at Power Home Remodeling. My email address is [email protected] and my number is 610.874.5000 x2260. Please feel fee to ask me any questions or if you need any other information. We wanted to update this page with the correct and most accurate info about our company.
- If this is the conformation you need, can you please revert the page to the updates we made earlier today? Thank you so much!

- If you are the Sr. Director of Digital Marketing, you are absolutely covered by the paid editing requirements mentioned above. You need to read and follow them, since you have been in violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. After you make the required disclosures, you can participate and make suggestions on the article talk page - but be advised we aren't going to replace the article with an advertisement. - MrOllie (talk) 15:48, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you for your help. I went ahead and update the User Page. Do I need to update the page all over again, or can it be reverted by you, ro is there anything else I need to do? Sorry, this is new to me. PattyFrankson (talk) 16:32, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- No, you do not update the article, and I will not revert it because Wikipedia doesn't host advertising. If you have factual corrections to make, you can suggest them at the article's associated talk page. You should find instructions on how to do that linked from the conflict of interest guidelines linked above. MrOllie (talk) 17:01, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
