Hello GreenwoodDriveEnt. 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:GreenwoodDriveEnt. 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. 331dot (talk) 22:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Understood. GreenwoodDriveEnt is my company (sole proprietor) and I was unaware when I created this account years ago that in order to edit articles, it should be in my name and not the company.  Therefore, how would I properly fill out the form since technically I, the user (GreenwoodDriveEnt), is the employer (self-employed)?  Do I instead create a new account in my name so that becomes the user so I can put the company name in the employer spot?  I'm not planning to edit anything until I get everything sorted out so I don't get banned. GreenwoodDriveEnt (talk) 23:28, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, you need a new account name anyway, or you can ask this account be renamed at Special:GlobalRenameRequest. It would suffice for you to write a statement on your user page to the effect of "I am YourUsername and I intend to make contributions about the company that I own and operate". 331dot (talk) 23:46, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Could you identify the citations that cannot be used? I kept copies of the articles in my research and most all were about the subject. If you viewed the citations, you should see the articles.  I have seen less or no longer accessible references on many articles on Wikipedia. 2603:8000:D9F0:6DD0:D9CA:D056:BCF5:42D5 (talk) 22:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
