Hello ArticlesOnline. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft: João Rocha Gomes, 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 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 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:ArticlesOnline. 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. QuantumRealm  (meow • pawtrack) 05:23, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Dear Quantum,
 * Thank you for your message. I am under no form being supported, paied or compensated for writing this article.
 * Even though the name of my account (ArticlesOnline) might give the impression that I am being compensated to write articles, that is definitely not the case. I chose this name to make it as neutral as possible, but after this message of yours I do realise it may give that idea. Is there any way I can proceed to prove that is not the case? I believe the references I used are all independently sourced, but I can seek others to justify specific claims.
 * Again, thank you for the review, as I understand you have strict policies regarding the content of your articles. Looking forward to your answer! ArticlesOnline (talk) 19:23, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear @QuantumRealm, I was wondering if there are any updates following my message or a procedure that I should follow. Thank you! ArticlesOnline (talk) 17:47, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
