Welcome
Hello Tiltoncomms. 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:Tiltoncomms. 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. -- VViking Talk Edits 20:06, 23 June 2022 (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:Tiltoncomms, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. -- VViking Talk Edits 20:15, 23 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Good afternoon,
 * I'll go ahead and do the disclosure on my user page. I am an employee of Tilton School and was asked to edit our Wikipedia page so that basic info is up-to-date. I've never used Wikipedia before so I wasn't mindful of the conflict of interest policy. Let me know if you have more questions or advice on how to go about just making sure that the basic info can be up-to-date. Tiltoncomms (talk) 20:19, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Read the links. You should propose edits on the article's talk page rather than making them yourself. And please change your username or you will be blocked. User accounts are for a single user and thus role account usernames such as yours are not allowed. See WP:ISU. Meters (talk) 21:01, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
