Mandatory disclosure of your status as a paid editor

Hello Dzwygart. 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:Dzwygart. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Dzwygart|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. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:09, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Orange Mike, I am not being paid for advocacy or editing the page. My intention is to make sure correct and true details on our company are being shown (i.e.- Correct financials, employee count, stock listing, date founded, CEO name, company logo, etc). I will still add myself as a paid employer by Zynex Medical on my page. Thank you for your help on this.Dzwygart (talk) 14:38, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
