Hello Maxskies. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Li Ziqi (vlogger), 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:Maxskies. 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. Amigao (talk) 19:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Amigao, Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I apologize for any misunderstanding.
 * Non-Paid Contribution:
 * To clarify, I am not receiving any compensation for my edits, directly or indirectly. My motivation for editing the Li Ziqi article primarily stems from a desire to provide accurate and up-to-date information. Readers who follow her page recognize that certain details are outdated, and I aim to supplement and enhance the content using reliable published sources. None of the material I posted is defamatory.
 * Objective Editing:
 * I appreciate your vigilance in maintaining Wikipedia’s integrity and ensuring reliable content for global readership, free of charge. I hope you share the same intention as me, respecting others’ contributions written from a neutral point of view, as all users’ content matters. Wikipedia is a platform that allows collaborative creation, editing, and curation of articles, with the responsibility to uphold civility and avoid harassment.
 * Commitment to Accuracy:
 * Moving forward, I will refrain from further debate. However, I remain committed to monitoring and modifying these pages. For instance, the information you added this time about Li Ziqi’s return is not true. "In September 2023, Li returned to social media after a two-year hiatus".
 * It was later found out that the rare appearances of Li Ziqi appeared in a public video as the ambassador of the China Association of Young Rural Entrepreneurial Leaders, in conjunction with the Chinese Farmers’ Harvest Festival. At least until now, she has not returned or uploaded any new video to her official Youtube channel, and this misinformation may lead users to trust unofficial social media accounts. I strongly recommend deleting that section to align with the facts.
 * Thank you for your understanding and commitment to Wikipedia’s principles! Maxskies (talk) 18:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
