Hello Kennethbenning. 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:Kennethbenning. 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) 15:16, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

I AM NOT PAID AND AM PURELY STATING FACTS CONCERNING UK CAVIAR ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennethbenning (talk • contribs)


 * Why, then, did you point people to your email in this edit summary, clearly associated with a company which sells that caviar? - MrOllie (talk) 15:25, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

? I don't get you point ? You asked if I receive compensation to make edits, of which I do not ? My email address has no concern to you or the article edit as it is not published. If you actually choose to do some more research, you would note that indeed the royal fish decree was made an exception to Exmoor Caviar - the first time in 691 years... which is of historical interest ? Or is it that you do not find this interesting ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennethbenning (talk • contribs)


 * You are splitting hairs that the policy does not split. You are paid by this company, and you are making edits that promote this company's business interests. - MrOllie (talk) 15:53, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Mr Ollie. Please note. I am not paid by this company (assuming you are claiming my email as reference). I do not receive a salary or an compensation for editing the post. Please kindly do not state this, as it is factually incorrect and may count as defamation or an infringement on my rights. I shall be reporting this as harassment to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennethbenning (talk • contribs)


 * It doesn't matter if you draw a salary or if you own the place, you may not use Wikipedia for your advertising. If you'd like to report this, WP:ANI is the place to do it. I suggest you read WP:BOOMERANG first, though. - MrOllie (talk) 16:02, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
