Hello AMR1978. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Black Box Corporation, 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:AMR1978. 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.  Passenger pigeon  ( talk )  12:33, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Further to what Passengerpigeon has already written to you, please familiarise yourself with the instructions at Edit requests for how to propose changes to the article about the company, which other experienced editors will check for neutrality and if acceptable, make on your behalf.

 * Please note: the Edit request template is to be placed on the article talk page, with details of the changes you would like to see. It is not a blanket protection to be placed on the article itself allowing you to continue to engage in COI editing. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:40, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
