User talk:Alexie Walls

August 2020
Hello Alexie Walls. The nature of your edits 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:Alexie Walls. 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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:57, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for your message. I assure you that I am not paid to write about Ms. Gerard. I would say that I am extrinsically encouraged to write about her on Wikipedia, but I am not paid at all. I am still new as a contributor on wikipedia and still trying to learn how I should be doing things here, which explains my edits. I have started educating myself about Wikipedia regulations and do and don'ts, and I promise I will improve with time. I would really appreciate if you have any pieces of advise for me to help me get started, or if you have feedback about my article.

Thanks a lot.
