Hello LaurieBorisDCC. 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:LaurieBorisDCC. 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. ElKevbo (talk) 22:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi EkKevbo. I work in the marketing department of DCC. I was making updates to our page because some of our locations are new or have been renamed. And our former (acting) president's name was spelled wrong. What edits did I make that were objectionable? Thank you. I have more updates that need to be made. Any suggestions?

 * Thanks for the quick reply!
 * We welcome your suggestions and requests in the article's Talk page. We're also generally okay with editors are paid by the article's subject making very simple, straight-forward, and completely uncontroversial updates to existing information and corrections to typos.
