September 2023
Hello ToddKent. 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:ToddKent. 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. ElKevbo (talk) 22:55, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello:
 * I am not being compensated in any way for my edits. Please let me know if there are any specific things I've done that might not be appropriate.  Thanks. ToddKent (talk) 23:47, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Our policy on outing people prevents me from saying much but it seems highly likely that you are very closely connected to an article you've edited. ElKevbo (talk) 23:50, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Do I need to take any additional actions? ToddKent (talk) 00:03, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * There are some instructions in my original message about how to declare your relationship with the college on your User page. I think it's also common and acceptable for editors to simply refrain from editing articles about their employer and other topics with which they have a conflict of interest.

 * @ToddKent please also stop posting random YouTube links or you risk being blocked. They do not add anything to the articles, are not reliabe sources and are in violation of WP:EL. Star   Mississippi  01:54, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
