User talk:94.31.31.130

July 2019
Hello, I'm ToBeFree. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Cinesite— has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:39, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello 94.31.31.130. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Cinesite, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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 the article talk page at Talk:Cinesite. The template Connected contributor (paid) can be used for this purpose. 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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:40, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Cinesite, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on the article talk page at Talk:Cinesite, and the template Connected contributor (paid) can be used for this purpose. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:41, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Location for disclosure notice
Hi, the above messages have incorrectly asked you to create the page User:94.31.31.130, which you can not do. Please have a look again; the correct location for your disclosure is the talk page of the article. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:46, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

You still have not 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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:54, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
