PAID Editing
Usually I leave a friendly message for people when it appears that they have a conflict of interest, but your editing is so over-the-top commercial that it is very clear that you are here to promote Insightec's ExAblate system.

Please read the note below and reply below it.

Hello Plwschwartz. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. 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, and if it does not, 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, 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:Plwschwartz. 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 compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jytdog (talk) 03:22, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

You still have not responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. -- Jytdog (talk) 15:34, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog. I just saw your messages. Yes, I do work at INSIGHTEC although I do not receive any specific remuneration for updating Wikipedia. My goal is that updated information is available to people looking for it online and on Wikipedia. I am happy to do whatever is the correct etiquette so that there is complete transparency. Thank you. Plwschwartz (talk) 14:35, 12 July 2018 (UTC)Plwschwartz
