Hello Osiebimu. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to National Open University of Nigeria, 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:Osiebimu. 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. – NJD-DE (talk) 11:06, 18 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the information, Njd-de. I am not receiving or expecting to receive any compensation for any of my edits either directly or indirectly. I noticed that some of the information on the page are outdated (Images inclusive), and that is why I decided to update the ones I can since I have the updated images/information at my disposal.

 * Hi Osiebimu, thanks for your reply. Could you enlighten us how the information came to your knowledge ? – NJD-DE (talk) 15:27, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. The school's HQ has been moved to Abuja (this was stated in the article) but the images on the page still displayed Lagos as the HQ. The logo and moto of the school were also updated and this can be found on their twitter handle (@noun_media) but the moto on the article was still previous one 'Work and Learn' before i edited it.Osiebimu (talk) 15:50, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
