Paid?
Hello RogerSWD. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Mayflower Mall, 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:RogerSWD. 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. Here you refer to a "client", which gives the impression that you are editing Wikipedia on somebody's behalf. bonadea contributions talk 16:11, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not being paid for this edit. Now, I am thinking I should be paid considering what should just be a few minutes of my time is now taking much longer. The client is Mayflower mall. We host their site and do content changes on their website as they request. They discovered incorrect ownership info in Google business. Google business does not have any fields for owners to display. I found out from Google support that the info was coming from the wikipedia page. Client asked me to correct it. You can remove the owner and management info that is fine. What is there now is completely false.RogerSWD (talk) 16:37, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It does not matter whether you were paid specifically to make the edits or not – the policy linked above (and again for your convenience here requires that you make a disclosure of any editing you do on behalf of people who hire you for any form of promotion. Please read the policy for information of how to make that disclosure, before you make any other edits. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 17:00, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
