Hello Uinio89. 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:Uinio89. 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. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 15:13, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I have disclosed my affiliation on my user page. Uinio89 (talk) 16:25, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you but that's not enough. As per WP:PAID you are required to provide links to your profiles on all sites where you "advertise, solicit or obtain paid Wikipedia-editing services" to fully comply with the policy. Also, please don't create the same draft under different titles and edit Draft:Surfshark instead but before that, you need to fully comply with the paid editing policies.

I don't have any profile, Surfshark asked me to create the page. I work for them as an SEO consultant.Uinio89 (talk) 17:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? because there is evidence off-wiki that it came from Upwork and I'm open to sharing those details with an admin. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 18:03, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I don't have a profile on Upwork. Provide details if you have.Uinio89 (talk) 18:06, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Uinio89, while it's good that you have disclosed your COI on your user page, the disclosure is supposed to also include a mention of the fact that you are being paid (and by whom), and also needs to be restated at the talk page of the affected article(s). Note as well that you should not remove any maintenance tags from these articles, and should leave that to editors who do not have conflicts of interest. signed,Rosguill talk 22:56, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
