Your username
editWelcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Fidelity National Financial, and I noticed that your username, "FNFCorporate", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Henry20090 (talk) 12:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

editHello FNFCorporate. 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. 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:FNFCorporate. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=FNFCorporate|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. --VVikingTalkEdits 12:39, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

editI am the VP of Marketing for FNF and am merely trying to update the incredibly outdated and incorrect information that is provided on this page. How do you suggest I go about doing this to meet your standards? FNFCorporate (talk) 12:49, 26 May 2020 (UTC)FNFCorporate
@FNFCorporate: First off, you need to change your username, as it represents FNF as a company, using Special:GlobalRenameRequest. Second, do not edit the page about FNF directly, as that is a blatant Wikipedia:Conflict of interest violation. Instead, make an edit request. Third, please disclose paid editing, as not doing so is against the WMF TOS, and Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Henry20090 (talk) 12:55, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
@Henry20090: Thank you. I requested a username change. Now, I just need to go to my userpage and place the Connected Contributor paid template on my page, is that correct? Once that is on my user page, I will request the edits.
@FNFCorporate: That is correct. That's all you need to do to be compliant with Wikipedia policies. Have fun editing! Henry20090 (talk) 13:21, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
