Hello BYOxford. 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:BYOxford. 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.   — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 11:44, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

You still have not responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 11:59, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, thanks Blablubbs, I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits (sorry, haven't found where I can response directly).
 * I have moved your reply into a new section. Thank you for your response. i do want to note, however, that even if you are not editing for pay, editing on behalf of someone you have a personal connection with is discouraged; you can find more information in our conflict of interest guidelines. You may also want to read our guidelines on neutral point of view, writing about living people and our manual of style; a fair share of the material you inserted into the article has issues with regard to those policies. Finally, please do not insert links to sites other than Wikipedia into the body of an article; you can find our guideline on use of external links here. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for understanding and best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 13:22, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Blablubbs. I will revised it again and also remove the extra-links.

Hi BYOxford! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
