However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

April 2024
Hello Jona Hauch. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are 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 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:Jona Hauch. 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. 331dot (talk) 19:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

 * That I am editing especially regarding a certain topic is because I have expertise in this knowledge. If I would have wanted to hide my relation to Blockchain Founders Group, I could have simply used another Email and whatever name. So that is what you want user to do? I thought about values like transparency and looking on the content, more than the person behind which I find discriminating. Jona Hauch (talk) 19:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't say you were trying to hide anything, but the Terms of Use require you to make the paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 19:44, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Also be aware of WP:EXPERT. 331dot (talk) 19:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * We don't have access to the email you attached to this account, unless you reply to emails sent via Wikipedia. You may use whatever email you wish. 331dot (talk) 19:47, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Paid editing again
You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 12:04, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
