Fleet Farm: Potential Conflict of Interest
Greetings HellmerJ,

I've partially reverted your contributions at the Fleet Farm article, because I believe that you may have made those edits while acting as an employee of the article's subject, which amounts to a paid conflict of interest. Wikipedia has a policy which requires editors to disclose their employment status when they are being paid to edit the encyclopedia (e.g. as a social media manager, brand manager, etc), especially while making edits involving their own employer.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which seeks to document basic information on as many notable topics as possible, in an unbiased fashion. It is expressly not an advertising platform for businesses. The reason for the above policies is to improve the reliability of Wikipedia as a general resource for the public.

You are welcome to continue helping Wikipedia by editing other articles-after all, many editors are employees of businesses, and all actors carry their own personal biases. However if in your edits you are acting as a paid employee of Fleet Farm, you again must disclose this on your user profile either using templates given at Template:Paid, or else by openly stating such and asking for guidance throughout the encylopedia's talk pages.
