Hello MsCompass57. 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:MsCompass57. 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. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 17:19, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi GSS, I read your message and want to know how I can submit the page the way you are guiding. Please let me know thanksMsCompass57 (talk) 17:33, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You first need to fully comply with WP:PAID. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 17:35, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes I did that as per your recorded message above. Please guide. Thanks for the helpMsCompass57 (talk) 17:38, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I saw that, but you have not yet disclosed all active accounts at websites where you advertise paid Wikipedia-editing services as required by WP:PAID. Please do so before making any further. I don't want to stretch this discussion so please keep in mind that I have off-wiki evidence that you were hired through Upwork so please provide a link to your profile on your user page.

I work for a private firm WorkMedia as data analyst. My boss may have been hired to do this work. I don't have any upwork profile for myself.MsCompass57 (talk) 17:59, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Then you need to ask your boss for the profile because we don't know who they are and it is required by the policies. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 18:02, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

OK I'll ask her, do I need to find out the whole chain of employers? Please could you refer me where I can find that policy so I can ask my boss to share it with me so I can submit. Thank you for your help and clarification.MsCompass57 (talk) 18:12, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * See Paid-contribution disclosure plus you also need to disclose your paid editing status for Tyler Read (personal trainer). GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 18:23, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
