Hello, I'm Rdp060707. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Sonal Ambani, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Rdp060707&#124;talk 07:39, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Rdp060707&#124;talk 08:21, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I am adding sources for all uncited material. As you can see, I have put the "in use" template. I am new to this and I appreciate all your help!

OK. Sorry about that.Rdp060707&#124;talk 08:37, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Please explain why you removed the last edit I made. It would really help me in understanding what to avoid. You seem to be a Wikipedia editor for a long time and I would like to avoid further run ins by being accurate in my edits. Thanks!

Paid editing notification
Hello. Your comment here gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in editing Sonal Ambani, 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:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Schazjmd  (talk)  16:49, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Since you have continued to edit the article without responding to the notification or adding a proper disclosure, I have tagged the Sonal Ambani article. Schazjmd   (talk)  21:40, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

I am not being paid for making these edits. the person in question felt that their page had inadequate information and I am adding more information (with sources) as a favor, since she cannot do this herself. There is no payment to be disclosed and this is not paid advocacy/contribution as described in your previous message. I am new to editing on Wikipedia, and I certainly don't do this for a living. I have removed the tag as it is misleading. Do let me know if you have further questions or issues.
 * Thank you for responding. Since you have an external relationship with the person you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
 * Thank you. Schazjmd   (talk)  00:00, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
