Question
I noticed the "DW" in your username. Do you work for Daisy Wholesale? -- Dolotta (talk) 14:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

January 2019
Hello EmilyTaylorDW. 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 Daisy Wholesale, 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:EmilyTaylorDW. 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. Dolotta (talk) 17:22, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 14:37, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Mean as custard (talk) 09:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Block
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 10:19, 16 January 2019 (UTC) Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion. You were also advised above of our rules on paid editing: I'll ask you to either confirm that you are not connected to Daisy Wholesale or clearly disclose the conflict of interest before considering an unblock request. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 10:23, 16 January 2019 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 12:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
