Hello Jmcl257. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Gilman School, 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 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:Jmcl257. 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. - ''' Chip &#x1f43a; • #TeamTrees&#x1F333; 19:33, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Edit to Gilman School
ChipWolf,

The edit it made to Gilman School was the addition of their Instagram Page. I was not trying to benefit from that edit. I would appreciate it if you added the edit back.

 * the edit doesn't add to the encyclopedic content of the page, Wikipedia is not a social network. The edit war to add the link started with a revision made by a user account with known conflicts of interest, so I'm fairly certain all of the edits fail to meet the mandatory paid editing diclosure requirements. If you believe the edit you wish to make adds to the encyclopedic content of the wiki, I invite you to start a discussion and reach a consensus on the article's talk page. Otherwise, please don't engage in "edit warring", it is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. . Thanks - ''' Chip &#x1f43a; • #TeamTrees&#x1F333; 21:19, 11 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I also realise; WP:ELNO criteria is to avoid social media links - ''' Chip &#x1f43a; • #TeamTrees&#x1F333; 17:30, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks ChipWolf. Once again, I was not trying to promote myself or add any benefit for myself.

Thanks

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Gilman School. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. CLCStudent (talk) 03:00, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
