Hello Maddycushman84. 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:Maddycushman84. 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) 19:00, 16 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I have not received any compensation payments for this page. I've been researching Rochester, NY businesses and products to provide information that I have gathered from credible news sources in the Rochester, NY area about student information systems. Additionally, I'm a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Let me know if you need any more information to verify this. Maddycushman84 (talk) 19:36, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Regardless of whether you're being compensated, writing promotional content on Wikipedia is against its policies and editorial standards. I'm not sure why you'd edit as you have been if you aren't being compensated, but either way please edit neutrally from now on. MrOllie (talk) 20:18, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I've been trying to write as straightforwardly as possible, using only facts from reputable sources. I will continue to learn and research how to write better so that it isn't flagged. I appreciate your feedback. If you have any good writing resources or recommendations, please share them with me. Maddycushman84 (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 21:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello MrOllie,
 * Can you give me feedback on which sentences you would like me to edit? Everything is fact checked from credible news sources. Thank you, I appreciate your time and feedback. Maddycushman84 (talk) 12:20, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Since you are apparently incapable of distinguishing neutral writing from advertising, I wouldn't like you to edit any of the sentences - you should simply leave the maintenance template intact so a more experienced editor can fix the article. - MrOllie (talk) 13:42, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
