Mandatory paid editing disclosure
Hello Dinazaid. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to General Fusion, 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:Dinazaid. 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. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:37, 10 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, thanks for flagging this. This is the first time I have attempted to make an edit on Wikipedia so pardon my ignorance. I am an employee of General Fusion and I was attempting to correct some facts such as the new CEO, our technology details and our founder's bio. Please advise what is the best way to go about correcting any factual information without breaching Wikipedia's policies. Dinazaid (talk) 18:01, 10 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Your first step is to follow the instruction above, about adding the paid tag to your userpage. You have not done so.
 * As an editor with a conflict of interest, you may make minor corrections to spelling, grammar, names, and so on. You can revert obvious vandalism. You can add citations to reliable secondary sources.
 * If you wish to see more substantive changes made to the article, you must propose them on Talk:General Fusion. It would be a good idea if you prefaced each proposal with the tag, to cause your request to be listed in a category page monitored by some editors.
 * Your proposal must be specific, in the form "change X to Y" or "add X" or "delete X", and must include a rationale for the change, citing reliable secondary sources that are independent of General Fusion.
 * You can see an example of another company representative interacting with the community at Talk:Gillette. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:51, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
