 * Hi Jeff. I am an employee at Tenpin that was tasked by Tenpin's CEO to correct the listing. There were quite a few locations missing and we now offer a lot more activities which needed to be added. Also we felt there was no need to list past venues as it is now irrelevant. Please keep the edits we have done as coming next year we will also need to add the new acquisitions we are opening. 62.6.158.194 (talk) 11:50, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tenpin Ltd, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 19:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello 62.6.158.194. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Tenpin Ltd, 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:62.6.158.194. 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. — Jeff G. ツ 19:45, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
