Hello, I'm Uhai. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Kameko Tarnez have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello Berkman Agency. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Kameko Tarnez, 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:Berkman Agency. 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. Uhai (talk) 21:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello thanks for your note, I am the assistant to the artist Kameko Tarnez and we are trying to figure out how to edit the page together. That being said I am not being paid to edit his wiki page I'm simply trying to help him make the edits needed to make the page less like an "advertisement". With that in mind it would be very helpful if you could please tell me exactly what needs to be removed to make it right. Berkman Agency (talk) 07:46, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I should also mention that Kameko says The page has been needing an edit for years. Kameko did not create this wiki page it was done many years ago so we just ignored all of the errors. However, he has just signed some major entertainment deals and asked me to assist him with this because its important that his online profile is reflective. Therefore, having a wiki that says its written like an advertisement is not good for him. That being said we are both struggling to figure out how to edit on the site. Please Kindly advise we really look forward to you reply Berkman Agency (talk) 08:04, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
