The following Wikipedia contributor has declared a personal or professional connection to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.

Hello Jojoarticles. 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:Jojoarticles. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jojoarticles|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. 331dot (talk) 08:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for the information, i am not getting paid or compensated in any way to make edits, i am new to wikipedia and still trying to figure out how to publish an article properly. Jojoarticles (talk) 09:10, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How did you come to edit about the app? 331dot (talk) 09:43, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i didn't want to make any edits i just thought the sandbox was like a drafts page just for me, for anything i would like to write about Jojoarticles (talk) 11:00, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your sandbox can be used for drafts, but it is not private and not immune from policies- nor is it a place to do things not related to this encyclopedia. Your comments also seem inconsistent with your comment referenced by Theroadislong below. 331dot (talk) 11:04, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You say here [1] “you published an article about Stillfront, our mother company and we would like to publish one for jawaker” Theroadislong (talk) 10:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, yes, i wasn't aware of the terms and conditions, i just wanted to contact a publisher to look into publishing an article, but i wasn't paid myself to do anything, i wouldn't even know how to edit im still learning how to use this platform Jojoarticles (talk) 11:02, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't publish an article about Stillfront, I just removed a link from a closed AfD discussion so am otherwise unfamiliar with the company and its subsidiaries.

You're clearly editing in violation of various terms & conditions and haven't made the required disclosures. Please do so @Jojoarticles before you're blocked. Star Mississippi 11:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added the conflict of interest, i hope i did so correctly, kindly let me know if i did the proper steps, but as for paid edits, again, i am not getting paid. Jojoarticles (talk) 13:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The template you used is for article talk pages, not userpages. Please see WP:COI. If you find the coding too challenging, you may just write a statement on your user page. Are you employed by Stillfront? 331dot (talk) 14:00, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you, i will do so, and no i am not employed by stillfront Jojoarticles (talk) 14:03, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you refer to it as your mother company? 331dot (talk) 14:07, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

because i work for a company that was acquired by stillfront Jojoarticles (talk) 07:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then you are a paid editor. No question about it. 331dot (talk) 08:55, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

paid editing[edit]

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 10:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
