Hello Ollie Farr. 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:Ollie Farr. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ollie Farr|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. creffett (talk) 01:43, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Creffett. Thank you for your comments. However, you are in fact mistaken - I am not being compensated in any way for my writing, I am merely an admirer of their work and noticed they didn't have a wiki page. As you can probably detect, I am new to wikipedia and perhaps my writing style is not in accordance with the desired format so of course I will go to every effort to ensure it is improved. If you had any further tips or feedback, it would be much appreciated. (Ollie Farr (talk) 11:17, 24 February 2020 (UTC))
