Hello CressidaA. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to ZGF Architects, 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:CressidaA. 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. Graywalls (talk) 09:40, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * This is an incorrect assumption. I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits to any of the firms or individuals listed, nor is there any conflict of interest. CressidaA (talk) 22:59, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * If any, what is the nature of your relationship with companies and people to whom you are adding award entries? Graywalls (talk) 04:21, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * No relationship exists between the companies / individuals and myself. I am simply interested in art and architecture, and follow the local awards landscape. CressidaA (talk) 17:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
