User talk:Eamonlooney1

Hello Eamonlooney1. 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:Eamonlooney1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Eamonlooney1|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. MrOllie (talk) 16:16, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

I can confirm that I am not being paid directly or indirectly for this edit. I am updating my User profile to make it known that I do work for Trusted Reviews and in this instances, none of my edits are none factual. Eamonlooney1 (talk) 16:39, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

If you work for Trusted reviews you are absolutely being paid indirectly. - MrOllie (talk) 16:44, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

I opened my profile with my Trusted Reviews email address which should have made this know, but after I know the process now I'll follow it. I am in no way shape or form trying to game the system and this information made to page more factual; there are broken citations at the moment, the history makes no sense, the editor is wrong etc. When you refer to being paid directly or indirectly after I read you saying that I need to {{paid|user=Eamonlooney1|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. This indicates a client-agency / consultant relationship which is not the case so this is a misunderstanding. Essentially all I want to do is get correct information uploaded, which I am sure you can agree was factually correct? To do this my understanding is that I must upload these edits here and then someone will ask any questions they have and suggest changes and they can upload them? How do they discover my page to get that process working? Eamonlooney1 (talk) 16:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Eamonlooney1, please read the COI pages throughly, including Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide and Template:Request_edit#How_to_use. Your questions are answered there. - MrOllie (talk) 17:09, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
