User talk:216.136.14.162

December 2022

Hello, I'm RPI2026F1. I noticed that in this edit to Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. RPI2026F1 (talk) 18:09, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Also see WP:conflict of interest. • Gene93k (talk) 18:17, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing

Hello 216.136.14.162. 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:216.136.14.162. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=216.136.14.162|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. Theroadislong (talk) 18:44, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help. I absolutely do not mean to be violating any rules. I will not be making any additional changes until I am certain I have properly disclosed my own status in relation to the organization. I am having difficulty with the user page but I believe this isn't the place for that conversation. Apologies for the delayed correction of my own dislclosures. 216.136.14.162 (talk) 19:09, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As an IP, you won't be able to edit your user page - that's something reserved for accounts only. See further at the Teahouse. 199.208.172.35 (talk) 19:14, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all of your help. 216.136.14.162 (talk) 19:17, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
