December 2020

Hello Robertmason1. 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:Robertmason1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Robertmason1|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. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 17:15, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

I am not editing anything that is COI. To which page are you referring to and why would you think that? I am a new editor and learning things as I go, so if I am not following certain policies and guidelines correctly, please let me know. But I do not personally know the subjects or the people or companies I have edited, so there is not any COI. Neither have I been compensated on anything. Some of these pages I have just randomly selected for practice, but also some are subjects, people, entertainers, etc that I am a fan of or know something about.Robertmason1 (talk) 02:07, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Salome MC, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Producer and Iranian. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
