Hello Js2112. 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 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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:Js2112. 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. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 22:02, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Blablubbs, I do not have any stake, financial or otherwise, in any page that I have edited on Wikipedia. Nobody has ever offered me any compensation for any Wikipedia activity. I do have an interest in politics, which I assume is the subject of the edits to which you are referring, but I don't believe that should disqualify me from contributing to Wikipedia articles or discussions.

Reuse of bio
I thought it would be good to mention that I recently reused some work you did at Draft:Theresa Greenfield to give a bio of Greenfield on the 2020 United States Senate election in Iowa page. When someone is only notable for one event, coverage of them generally gets consolidated on the page of the event. ─ ReconditeRodent « talk · contribs » 00:57, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
