Paid
Hello LawGrow. 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:LawGrow. 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. VViking Talk Edits 18:08, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * This is the second time the edit was rejected. I edited it to reflect the changes requested. This is 100% NOT paid. Richard does so much for his community. He is a former prosecutor who created one of the best Youth programs to prevent teens from engaging in other types of harmful extracurricular activities (surf into integrity). This attorney was also head of the heroin task force unit as a prosecutor for Wicomico county and his work made a difference and is still making a difference, including legislation. I do not think the prior reviewer even bothered to check if this is an actual person. Now, do we have any experience creating a Wikipage? Absolutely not. Do we need guidance? Absolutely. Is this paid? absolutely not. I attempted to find help to create a page and those people WERE asking to be paid. Thus, I rejected any proposal asking for payment, I absolutely do not want a paid wikipedia. I feel passionately about the work that he does, this is the type of attorney who doesn't just take a case and plead it out, he gets the person the help that they need for their addiction, tries to get them into recovery programs, etc. A&E reached out asking to profile him and he declined so, this is the last person that I would want a paid wikipedia for. I have seen a multitude of bio's on here of attorneys who have done less for their state and communities. If there is some type of guidance to help me, please let me know but please note that this is absolutely not a paid edit. LawGrow (talk) 18:46, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Just following up on this please. Let me know if you will refer me to someone here that can help or what if any changes need to be made. LawGrow (talk) 20:27, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

The reason left by FeralOink was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This is an article about a good attorney. Unfortunately, it is not encyclopedic content so Wikipedia isn't the right place for it. Non-notable professional.
