Hello Poeticscripture. 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 egregious 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, 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, 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:Poeticscripture. 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. Praxidicae (talk) 16:33, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

I was asked to help look through the article and not paid for the assistance. I reviewed the article and check through the citations, hence the reason for my edit.

Apologies if that doesn't sit well with you. Thanks Poeticscripture (talk) 16:56, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

I was going to decline this unblock request, but ToBeFree beat me to it. I concur, there's nowhere near enough information in this unblock request. Who asked you to review the draft? What exactly is your relationship with the person who wrote the draft? What exactly is your relationship (however indirect) with the subject of the draft? Are you employed by a PR or marketing company? etc. --Yamla (talk) 13:10, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
