Conflict of interest and paid editing: we have procedures for mandatory disclosure

Hello Wenchimodel. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Wikipedia:Help desk, 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:Wenchimodel. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Wenchimodel|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 02:39, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Hey, I write for our local alternative press myself; but Wikipedia's had to get real hard-nosed about paid editing recently, however sympathetic we might be to the plight of any given editor or subject. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:58, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Orangemike, thank you for letting me know this requirement. I'm vastly unfamiliar with how wikipedia editing works, and have been learning as I go. Thank you for teaching me about this. I am more than happy to list that my employer is Metro Publishing Inc. and the clients are North Bay Bohemian and Pacific Sun. I am doing these edits while I'm being paid. I'll use that template you gave me on the userpage for Wenchimodel. I also understand better now about suggesting edits on the talk page as opposed to the article directly since I am being paid to do this. Thank you for letting me know this Orange Mike. --Wenchimodel (talk) 23:30, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wenchimodel (February 27)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This page is blank except for a conflict of interest disclosure.

The clients didn't get what they paid for.

Your draft article, Draft:Wenchimodel

Hello, Wenchimodel. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Wenchimodel".

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 nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Lapablo (talk) 11:22, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
