Thanks for this info!

Welcome!
Hello, JamesHerring4326, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Melisa Whiskey, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason. In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Melisa Whiskey
It's pretty clear you were editing as and have created an account with a non corp  user name. (The new user name part is good if no one blocks for WP:SOCKPUPPETRY. I trying to head that off.) It is also clear that you are adding unsourced, non neutral content to this article. Please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. As you took up where 09management left off, I will partially block you from editing the article till you can show you can do so constructively. You will need to make WP:EDITREQUESTs on Talk:Melisa Whiskey. Thanks -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 11:55, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello JamesHerring4326. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Melisa Whiskey, 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:JamesHerring4326. 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. Carried over from original user talk. -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 11:59, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
