Hello JoMcC76. 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:JoMcC76. 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. -- VViking Talk Edits 19:46, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello Viking! I am not, nor will I be compensated in the future for my submission, and I have NO financial stake in the company. This was a required exercise as part of a Digital Marketing course I am taking.

Please advise.
 * (courtesy ping ) Thank you for clarifying. Even though you aren't affiliated, you should still be careful about your choice of tone in an article (I can't find the exact policy, but basically - Wikipedia articles should be written neutrally and everything should be sourced to a reliable source). Also, I see that your contributions were revision-deleted as copyright violations. Please review our policy on copyright violations - you cannot use text copied and pasted from another source. creffett (talk) 01:48, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
