Hello Peterneal. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, 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:Peterneal. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Peterneal|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. GSS💬 09:04, 18 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

You are indeed mistaken User:GSS. I am neither paid nor expect to receive compensation for my edits, furthermore recognising the potential of conflicts of interests to arise when I started to edit regularly, the first thing I did was to create my user page (based on that of another editor) to which I added details of my background, interests and my reasons for editing wikipedia. This page was speedy deleted within minutes on the grounds that wikipedia is not a website for self-promotion (for the record I have my own website on which I am able to "self promote" should I wish). Whilst I appreciate that a platform like wikipedia might be subject to abuse and how hard it might be to spot bad-faith actors, I think it is necessary to be mindful of how that can be experienced by volunteers when they begin to contribute and how what may appear like reasonable challenges from an administrative perspective do not appear so from the volunteers perspective and how that, in turn, discourages people from contributing. I am happy to recreate such a user page should you think it necessary (and assuming that it will not simply be arbitrarily deleted again). Peterneal (talk) 21:11, 18 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
