User talk:Reggie1954RW

April 2023
Hello Reggie1954RW. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:RefrigiWear, 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:Reggie1954RW. 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. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:19, 26 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I already disclosed the COI, but I added the Paid template, as well. Thank you. Reggie1954RW (talk) 18:29, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for doing so. You'd be surprised how many people receive a warning like this and then don't attempt to address it. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
