Welcome
Hello Epik obie. The nature of your edits 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 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:Epik obie. 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. -- VViking Talk Edits 13:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I am not in any way being compensated by University Hospitals. I'm a resident of the Cleveland area and couldn't stand how unorganized the UH pages were. I understand that the pages as currently written seem like advertising, and I am planning on rewriting them to have a more neutral point of view. Epik obie (talk)Epik obie


 * Thank you for the quick response. The biggest issue I saw was when you re-directed university hospitals. As there are a lot of University Hospitals around the world, jut be careful your edits have a neutral tone and are well sourced. VViking Talk Edits 13:45, 20 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Got it. Sorry about that. Will the rest of my edits be restored? Not sure I want to put in the time and effort again if the edits will disappear. Epik obie (talk)Epik obie


 * You can restore them, just double check for promotional language. VViking Talk Edits 14:13, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
