Mandatory paid editing disclosure
Hello Flanneltuba. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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:Flanneltuba. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jytdog (talk) 15:44, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

In response to Jytdog's concerns regarding affiliation, compensation, or financial interest wrt the topic pharmaceutical product that is being described on this page, "Venetoclax": My relationship to this drug is exclusively related to the fact that I currently am using this drug as a medical patient being treating for CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). My reasons for wanting to make corrections to this are based on the concern that other people who may be affected by this disease who find this Wikipedia page will have updated and accurate information with which to make treatment related decisions for their own needs. I do not work for the manufacturer of this product (AbbVie Inc.), and do not receive any financial incentives or income from them or any related affiliates. My knowledge of the information I have contributed to this page is fairly extensive and reference based.

I hope this is the correct place to have presented this disclaimer. If not, please feel free to educate me on what that proper place is. Thank you for you efforts to protect the legitimacy and transparency of the information and its sources on Wikipedia.
