Hello Siegel-Reduced. 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:Siegel-Reduced. 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. MrOllie (talk) 00:41, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi MrOllie,
 * I am not being compensated for my edits.
 * Why did you remove my addition of openfhe to the Homomorphic Encryption page? It's a new library that supports CKKS bootstrapping and hardware acceleration.
 * For some background, I like playing around with the C++ crypto libraries (Crypto++, EMP, NTL, PALISADE, SEAL, HElib, etc.) and just found openfhe.
 * Updating the C++ FHE libraries was a layup edit.
 * Thanks,

 * You registered an account and made exactly the same edit as User:Ypolyakov, who is an employee of Duality Technologies, very shortly after they learned that they would not be allowed to make promotional edits about their company. I find it very unlikely that that is a coincidence. Please explain your connection to Ypolyakov. MrOllie (talk) 14:41, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no connection to User:Ypolyakov. It's the same edit because it's an easy and obvious edit. Siegel-Reduced (talk) 16:27, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
