Hello! Could you please let me know the reason for reverting my edits on St Joseph's College and St. Paul's college? I was adding citations and removing information that I wasn't able to verify and don't understand the problem. -- NotC hariza rd 🗨 02:14, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, as we are unable to verify if you have a connection to the schools, we have reverted to the approved content. Regards 103.81.245.209 (talk) 05:03, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

You undid more of my edits on St Paul's College, Kempsey and Saint Joseph's College, Tweed Heads, where again I was adding citations and removing unsourced content. What is the justificated for this? -- NotC hariza rd 🗨 06:47, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello CSO Lismore. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to St Paul's College, Kempsey, 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:CSO Lismore. 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. TSventon (talk) 14:18, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text  at the end of your user talk page.
