Hello GennaGW. 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 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:GennaGW. 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. Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 02:00, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Blablubbs. I'm sorry this is the impression that came across, I am not being compensated directly or indirectly by anyone to make any of the edits I made. Is there anything else I need to do other than stating that? Thank you. GennaGW (talk) 17:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Blablubbs! GennaGW got in touch with me after receiving your message. GennaGW is a brand-new Wikipedia editor with some wiki experience gained from editing other (non-Wikimedia) wikis. GennaGW is part of a project to boost the visibility of Polish-American women. GennaGW doesn’t know, and hasn’t been hired by, Blanka A. Rosenstiel, nor any person or organization with which Rosenstiel is involved. GennaGW encountered Ms. Rosenstiel’s name on a list of prominent Polish-American women who aren't well-covered in Wikipedia. --Sodapopinski7 (talk) 07:58, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
