Hello Petertomlinsonlondon. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to William Grant & Sons, 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 SEO.

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:Petertomlinsonlondon. 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. — Jeff G. ツ 14:30, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I am simply trying to replace the outdated corporate logo of William Grant and Sons with the new up to date one so the readers of Wikipedia can experience the most up to date information on the company. I have updated my user profile to disclose that I have a financial stake in asking for the logo to be changed. Please advise on how we can make this edit possible, if indeed it even is possible. Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petertomlinsonlondon (talk • contribs) 15:51, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
