Creative Support
Hi. I noticed the similarity between your username and the article that you edited immediately after registering. Are you associated with the organization? If so: —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 11:19, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:COI. Those associated with a subject should not directly edit it because of their inherent conflict of interest. Instead, suggestions regarding the article may be made at its talk page (Talk:Creative Support), where uninvolved and neutral editors may evaluate and perform them.
 * Your user name, if "comms" is short for "communications", implies shared use by the organization's communications department. Per WP:NOSHARING and WP:ROLE, this is not allowed. You may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing and abandon this one.
 * I'll add below a list of useful links regarding Wikipedia. Your first edits to the page were problematic for various reasons, and were reverted by the editor.

Welcome!
Hello, Creativecomms, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or and a volunteer will visit you here shortly. Again, welcome! —[ Alan M 1 (talk) ]— 11:19, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is and is not. Wikipedia is not just another news, forum, blog, or social networking site – it is a place for serious, collaborative, scholarly assembly of knowledge into a high-quality encyclopedia. Many come here with other expectations and have a difficult time as a result.

Hello Creativecomms. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Creative Support, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Creativecomms. 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. Rathfelder (talk) 11:58, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
