Hello Johnlebretton. 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:Johnlebretton. 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.  Dloh Cier  ekim  17:14, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I have just read your comment and see that you are on the understanding that I am being paid let me assure you that no one in the Party are paid we are all volunteers and will continue to be so. As I stated in my last message to you I only have the interesst of the party at stake and had no idea that we were breaking any of the rules laid down by you. This was my first attempt to try and update the page so we could move forward in the future. As I also stated now I know where I was going wrong then again I do apolagise to you and if reenstated we will always keep you informed on this page before we try to amend or remove anything. Kind Regards John Le Bretton Chairman (Unpaid) The Cornish Nationalist Party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnlebretton (talk • contribs)
 * NOPE! You still meet the criteria for PAID. You are working for and at the behest of an outside entity. That you "only have the interesst of the party at stake", makes in clear you are 1)not here to build the encyclopedia and 2) have an insurmountable conflict of interest. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a venue for you to further the interests of "the party", however commendable you think that might be. I use Tumblr and Twitter and have a personal website. My advice is that you find one of the alternative outlets.  Dloh Cier   ekim  11:47, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
