Hello MediaComManager. Your edits look as if you are being paid, such as the edit you made to North Carolina Research Campus‎. Paid promotion is an especially egregious type of conflict of interest (COI). Paid articles should be submitted through the articles for creation process. If you are receiving or expect to receive money for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post the disclosure on your user page at User:MediaComManager. 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. If you are being paid, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. ''I'm not sure what 'MediaComManager' is meant to infer but you must be aware of this policy.

In response to WikiPedia User My Name Is Not Dave
My name is not dave -

I am not being paid to edit the Wikipedia Page for the North Carolina Research Campus. I am curious as to your concern for this page, especially with your residence being in the UK. Are you employed by WikiPedia to police certain pages? Have you ever been to the NCRC? It is a not-for-profit organization developed in partnership with David H. Murdock and the community of Kannapolis, NC. The page has not been updated for several years and I am simply reorganizing the page and adding information obtained from the NCRC website, partner websites, and local news. Going forward, I would appreciate you allowing the editing of this page so the information can be updated and accurate.

 * There is indeed a cabal! No...I joke. :D
 * Anyway, Wikipedia has no employers. I am a recent changes patroller. Apologies, we have a serious paid editing issue at the moment, and "MediaComManager" suggests that you work for some PR business, which is where this folks originate from. Obviously this is not the case. My name is not dave (talk/contribs) 16:53, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

advice

 * As an administrator who deals frequently with issues of WP:Conflict of Interest and paid editing, I think it necessary to say something more. Your name clearly implies a  likely promotional  nature of your editing. We define conflict of interest not just as being a staff member or employee of the organisation, or a consultant, but as any direct or indirect  financial or other conflict of interest. If the conflict of interest is just as an interested member of the community, you need not declare it. If it has any financial implications whatsoever, you must.  I think some explanation of your user name is in order.
 * This applies no matter how constructive your edits. Some of them were, but not all. We do not use list format, but paragraphs. List format is for press releases. We do not use boldface within articles except for the title phrase. We do not use vague terms of intent or purpose. We do not discuss the founder or other companies that have articles, besides a brief identification--the WP articles on them provide the material. We do not make claims, even factual ones, without citations. For anything more than a purely uncontroversial and indisputable fact, the source must be from a third party. I have made some of these changes. If you do not make the others, I will do what I can, and that will include the removal of unreferenced material that implies a judgment.
