Hello Radgyparrot. 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:Radgyparrot. 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. SmartSE (talk) 18:03, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi there, sorry for the delay in replying, I had to google how to respond to a wikipedia message! I can assure you that I am not at all paid to edit this article, the reason for my edit was that it had not been updated for approx 4 years. I felt my contribution was bringing info upto present day. Please would you be able to put the new info back on the page to bring it upto date? Feel free to reword or edit what I have written, if it sounds "not right" for wikipedia. I've merely written up the facts about Chris Cross's career over the past 4 years, as found on Google. Thanks! Radgyparrot (talk) 12:37, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
