Hello Sadra b. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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.
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, 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:Sadra b. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sadra b|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Kuru (talk) 14:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Kuru: Thank you for your efforts in keeping the community spam/ad free. I am not compensated for any of my edits. Please let me know if there are any specific edits you are concerned with. I can see that many of my citations for the edits have been removed and now there is copyright/citation issue because of this. Let me know if you can fix this or want me to fix it.

- "Sadra has a passion for all things technical and his mission is to help build frictionless fraud prevention solutions and services for GPayments’ customers." Final warning; I've removed the entire section you've claimed was a "copyright violation" and removed your spam link again. If you make any other promotional or COI edits, I will block this account.
