Kessler Foundation
Hi BetterThings641! I received your email to BattyBot about the Kessler Foundation article.

You wrote: "I understand that there is a need for more citations for Kessler Foundation wikipedia page. Is that the reason you pulled out all of the sections in your report?"
 * I don't understand your question. If you study  carefully, you'll see that BattyBot did not pull out any sections or generate any report.

You also asked: "Also, please tell me - is it not allowed to link the names of the scientific centers to their descriptions?"
 * Yes, it is not allowed to add external links within the body of an article like Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation. See the content guideline at External links for more information.

What's your relationship with the Kessler Foundation? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 20:11, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello BetterThings641. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Kessler Foundation, 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:BetterThings641. 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. GoingBatty (talk) 22:37, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

(talk), sorry for the mixup. I am not getting paid for these changes. Also, I do not know how to access your email again to send this to you. I know about Kessler Foundation and that some of the information that is cited now is incorrect, so I was trying to update it. I do know a lot about the organization because I am in the disability field and I know what is being done at Kessler Foundation. It has grown considerably since the past 10 years that the wikipedia page has been updated. BetterThings641 (talk) 22:49, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. I disabled the ability to email BattyBot, in order to keep Wikipedia conversations on wiki.  What is your relationship with the Kessler Foundation?  GoingBatty (talk) 22:59, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
