Hello KentHouse14-17. 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:KentHouse14-17. 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. Alex Noble   - talk  11:57, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for message. I work for Morgan Sindall Group and was simply updating our company page which is out of date. The information I have used is in the public domain and not in any way try to solicit any work or information. I am happy to cease the edits, however want to be clear that the edits are from the company itself and not any individual seeking gain or profit (KentHouse14-17 (talk) 12:11, 26 February 2020 (UTC)).

In addition, could whoever is editing this page on our behalf, kindly use our current logo? Many thanks(KentHouse14-17 (talk) 12:13, 26 February 2020 (UTC)).
 * , to reiterate - the company cannot edit the page, all edits to Wikipedia are from individual people. If they are employed by a company, and as part of that employment they are asked to edit a Wikipedia article, then they are by definition editing the article for pay, in breach of the terms of use of this website. This is clearly laid out at COI and PAID. As a paid employee, you are not permitted to update your company page, regardless of whether or not it is out of date. You may use an edit request on the article talk page to request that another editor, without a COI, make the change. Girth Summit  (blether)  13:46, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
