Welcome!
Hello, MaryGrace0101, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Charles J.

The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Hello, MaryGrace0101. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:32, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Mandatory paid editing disclosure
Hello MaryGrace0101. 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:MaryGrace0101. 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. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Good day, @Anachronist. I am not a paid advocate, nor do I have a financial stake. I do, however, follow Charles online and have purchased his books and watched his shows. I don't believe that makes me a biased editor here, merely more informed about him.
 * Further, I've reviewed the comments that state my edits are somehow peacocked and/or promotional. With complete respect, I have to disagree. Charles was at the forefront of the Ashley Madison hack, a significant news item that has been ongoing and covered in a variety of places and with reputable sources: CNN, ABC News, etc. Charles was a part of all that coverage, including being mentioned on the primary Wikipedia page that discusses the hack itself.
 * Happy to get a better understanding of how I am somehow promoting him here, rather than rounding out his experience as it connects and coincides with that significant news item. MaryGrace0101 (talk) 16:48, 18 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the clarification. Regarding promotionalism, I am not the only one who got that impression, if you look at the history of your draft. Unsourced and unsubstantiated puffery like "insights and expertise have been sought after" is likely what made me suspect that you an advocate rather than a neutral editor. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:46, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Understood. Unintentional, but I get it. I'll be looking for more sources and will add as I locate. 76.133.5.56 (talk) 19:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
