Hello Anne Penikis. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to World Pulse, 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 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. 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:Anne Penikis. 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. MrOllie (talk) 21:54, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MrOllie I am not at all sure I understand how to do this, nor if what I've done is correct. I have updated my user page to reflect my employment. As yes I do work for the organization. I had taken steps to correct the page to meet the standards for non-subjective language. I would appreciate my work being reverted as I believe it meets the Wikipedia guidelines of being objective and accurate and not subjective and promotional. Thank you for your timely response.

Help me!
Please help me with... I am attempting to support the non-profit I work for by updating our Wikipedia page to be objective and non-promotional, which it was before. Within just a few days of making changes it was tagged and all work as well as prevous content was removed. Could someone please clarify the correct way to proceed. Thank you.

 * I see you have disclosed your relationship on your user page. Thank you for following that aspect of our policies.
 * The other aspect of our policies that we wish you to respect is that COI editors are asked to use the request edit template on the talk page, in this case Talk:World Pulse, when they wish updates and corrections to be made to the page. Just create a "New section" (there's a button at the top) and specify as precisely as you can what needs to be changed and provide any references that support those changes (independent references preferred). The template will notify other uninvolved editors who will look over your request and make them as appropriate.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 21:17, 1 July 2020 (UTC)


 * To second jmcgnh's comment, you should not be editing the article on your employer yourself. You especially may not turn it into a promotional piece. Wikipedia is not a site for advertising or marketing efforts. - MrOllie (talk) 21:20, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
