Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Maple Heights, Ohio, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 00:40, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello MG1915. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Maple Heights, Ohio, 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:MG1915. 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:23, 17 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi User:Magnolia677. I am new to Wikipedia so thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I am paid by the city (now declared in my user profile), but my interest interest in sharing this information is from an amateur historian's perspective. The information I am posting is public record and I am citing verifiable items, such as local board of election results, news articles, and public records on the city website, to share some of the political history of the city. I am reading as many guidance pages and tips to make sure I am providing factual information, so any recommendations you have are appreciated. Thank you again for your guidance. --MG1915 (talk) 14:48, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for disclosing that. I would strongly encourage you to not edit the Maple Heights article, and to discontinue writing an article about the mayor (presumably your boss). Thanks for your understanding. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
