Hello Laineredpath. 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:Laineredpath. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Laineredpath|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) 15:20, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- My sincerest apologies, I was unaware of this issue. My boss just gave me this account login and asked me to update the Policy Press page, as it has a number of outdated elements, and revise the Bristol University Press page before submitting it for review.
- The edits I made to the Policy Press page should've mainly been me fixing inaccuracies (e.g. our distributors, organisational collaborations, journals we publish etc.) and adding in extra references. Therefore I think, if you review the changes, they should be factual updates that could be pushed through, as it's better than having outdated information on the page.
- As for the Bristol University Press page, I will create myself an account with the correct declarations and I will work on creating a better page there. I will do my best to ensure it is entirely factual without bias, and will make sure it goes through the articles for creation process, as it initially did here. Laineredpath (talk) 08:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- There is no such thing as being without bias, as we all have biases. Wikipedia has a neutral point of view, which is different. Wikipedia also does not merely provide factual information, it summarizes what independent reliable sources state. 331dot (talk) 14:04, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

. 331dot (talk) 14:00, 30 March 2022 (UTC)I have blocked this account as multiple people have had access to it. Please tell your boss they should not create accounts for others. The block permits you to create your own account. 331dot (talk) 14:02, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Please have your boss, and anyone else in your organization who is thinking about editing Wikipedia, review its username policy. There is a strict rule that accounts may never be shared for any reason. The person who creates the account must be the only person who uses it for the account's entire lifetime. This is because every edit made by a Wikipedia account must be attributable to the same individual. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:07, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Laineredpath. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Bristol University Press".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 23:48, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
