Hello, I'm Hey man im josh. I noticed that in this edit to Winton Group, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:58, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello SKAxtell. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Winton Group, 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:SKAxtell. 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. --Hadal (talk) 16:02, 8 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I'm an employee at Winton and wanted to replace our company logo on the Winton Group Wikipedia page as we have recently updated it. I also noticed the current AUA was outdated, as well as the amount of global offices we have (now six rather than seven due to the closure of our Tokyo office). If I'm not able to update information due to a conflict of interest, could you let me know how we can go about ensuring our firm's information is correct? Many thanks, Sabrina SKAxtell (talk) 15:35, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

You still have not adequately 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. --Hadal (talk) 15:18, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
