Managing a conflict of interest
Hello Jmhreif. 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 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:Jmhreif. 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. MrOllie (talk) 16:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

RE: Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, MrOllie! I apologize for the misunderstanding. I'm really new to the Wikipedia article contributions and didn't realize what all was needed before making or requesting changes. I definitely did not intend anything unprofessional or untoward. Just wanted to update the Neo4j entries to parallel styling and format of other technology/company pages.

I will update my profile with the requested changes and follow the guidance outlined above for future entries. Thank you for explaining the details and guidelines clearly.
