 * Hi there - A citation was needed, and I provided one. I am editing Mr. Johnny Contardo's wikipedia page per his permission, to make corrections. I plan to reinstate the sentence, as it existed previously, and I edited a word and gave a citation. Marketing247365 (talk) 03:13, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Citations must be publically available and from well known publishers. See WP:RS. If you are editing in cooperation with the article subject, see WP:COI - you probably should not be editing the page at all. MrOllie (talk) 03:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Johnny Contardo, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. TheManInTheBlackHat  (Talk)  03:34, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello Marketing247365. 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:Marketing247365. 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) 03:36, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for your message! In fact, I am not paid directly nor indirectly for edits made in order to correct data about Mr. Johnny Contardo - I am a volunteer; he simply asked if I could correct info that is currently not correct on the Wikipedia page which 100% deals with his life, as he is self admittedly not super tech savvy at this time. Some of the data listed for many years has been either incorrect or does not represent his viewpoint factually. I am now learning that I need to understand how to better cite information and edits, and am appreciative. I have a forthcoming financial arrangement with Mr. Contardo for separate activities, dealing with separate marketing; he simply asked if I would make the edits, and I have attempted to honor his wishes this evening. Thanks again for all of the info, tips, rules info, and the citation link. Appreciate, and will absolutely abide by all terms of use. I will update my page to indicate that Mr. Contardo is forthcoming paid client in some forms and capacities of marketing. Please let me know of any further guidance, and thanks for your time and for what you do. Marketing247365 (talk) 04:07, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
