Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Saratoga Springs, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. ''Do not remove maintenance tags on articles without fixing the problems. All added content must be sourced. Equally important, you need to follow WP:BRD when making bold changes that are then reverted, you need to start a conversation on the article talk page to discuss. Please read WP:BRD.''

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Saratoga Springs. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. ''Do not add promotional content to the encyclopedia. It is not a free advertising venue. And when your bold edits are reverted, you need to follow WP:BRD and start a conversation on the article talk page.'' Netherzone (talk) 00:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello 173.242.96.122. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Saratoga Springs, 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:173.242.96.122. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. 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. Netherzone (talk) 00:23, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
