Hello Tobbenet. 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:Tobbenet. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Tobbenet|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. bonadea contributions talk 06:28, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonadea: Hello! First of all - I read your Talk page and seen your edits and I just want to say THANK YOU for all the hard work you are putting into wikipedia and making it a better place. Very impressive and much appreciated! As you correctly assumed I do work for Boozt and I will put that on my user page as suggested. I still thought I put everything in sources as much as possible and did not disclose anything that could not be found on the internet as a source. Last thing I want to do is to put any biased things on wikipedia. Would it be better if I removed my edit completely? To be completely transparent - I am not payed by Boozt to explicitly edit wikipedia. I work in tech...
