Hello, I'm Pablomartinez. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Coleraine Academical Institution— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

New page
I work in a newly formed school and have been trying to get Google to stop bringing up information about the old schools.

Any time I try to make changes on Wikipedia someone else in Wikipedia land blocks it! The existing page refers to Coleraine Academical Institution but I am trying to get it refer to Coleraine Grammar School. It would be better still to create a new page. If anyone out there would like to create a page rather than constantly blocking me please feel free.

Thanks. Dmcqstewart46a (talk) 20:38, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello Dmcqstewart46a. 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 Coleraine Academical Institution, 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:Dmcqstewart46a. 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. TheAwesomeHwyh (talk) 02:35, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
