Hello Creditwhencreditsdue. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to State of the World Tour, 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:Creditwhencreditsdue. 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. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:35, 19 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Good Afternoon
 * I am not being paid by anyone and have no affiliation with any person that I have contributed edits. The credit I added to this tour was for the composer that created the Janet Jackson State of the world tour. He was hired by the Music Directors Daniel Jones and Adam Blackstone and his contribution to this tour was left out.  I do not work for anyone affiliated with my edit.
 * Thank You

 * What about your clear WP:COI conflict of interest? Would love to get a response on this - just so we are clear and on the same page. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:55, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
