User talk:Troybutler94

Hello Troybutler94. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO. 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, and if it does not, 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:Troybutler94. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. ChemNerd (talk) 17:31, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Icotinib edits
Hello! My name is Troy Butler and I am a pharmacy student at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy. The edits on this page are in relation to a class assignment and involve no monetary compensation on mine or any organization or entity’s part. The nature of our class assignment is to add commercial aspects, intellectual property information, and regulatory information on any drug of our choosing. So, naturally, this content may appeared paid/sponsored, but I can assure you that is not the case. If you would like to correspond with me at my email address (troy.butler@uky.edu) please feel free to do so.

Thank you,

 * OK, thank you. I'm glad to hear that there are University level classes involved in contributing content to Wikipedia. Please feel free to remove the message above since it doesn't apply to you. I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia enough to continue after your class is done too.  :)  Regards, ChemNerd (talk) 13:32, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
