Hello Thenbhd90. 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:Thenbhd90. 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. SK2242 (talk) 03:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Thenbhd90, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. SK2242 (talk) 18:32, 15 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Apologies, SK2242 (talk) this was an error on my part, I misunderstood the guidelines. I have a vested interest in the band however I will declare that I do not and will not receive payment for my contributions to wikipedia. Please advise if I need to validate this any further as I wish to comply and simply do not have enough experience in wiki contributions at this stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thenbhd90 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you the clarification. SK2242 (talk) 21:19, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

SK2242 (talk) Thank you for your response. Do I simply wait for approval at this stage? I don't wish to add to the page any further at this time.
