User talk:87.114.70.179

April 2022
Hello 87.114.70.179. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Living DNA, 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:87.114.70.179. 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. As you are an IP user, please ignore the part of the template message about putting it in your user page, as a filter won't let you. However according to the above mentioned Wikimedia Terms of Use you would still be required make either a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions Thank you for your comprehension. 2804:F14:C060:8A01:F4F9:D73F:899A:4B3E (talk) 12:29, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
