November 2021
Hello FinaeFrancey. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Bitventure, 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:FinaeFrancey. 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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 13:22, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Curb Safe Charmer. I am employed by a company called Ferox. I am not employed by Bitventure, nor am I receiving compensation for my edits.
 * Is Bitventure a client of Ferox? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 13:31, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

No, it is not.
 * This does not appear to be a fully accurate response, based on a simple google search. Please do not make any further promotional edits without proper disclosure, and you may want to consult with your leadership on ethical practices. Even if this is a past client, the appearance matters. Kuru   (talk)  13:37, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Bitventure
Hello, FinaeFrancey. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Bitventure, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 02:02, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Bitventure


Hello, FinaeFrancey. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Bitventure".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 01:39, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
