Hello UpperAllenTwpWill. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 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:UpperAllenTwpWill. 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. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 20:02, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I work for Upper Allen Township. These edits were made at the request of the township to express the most up to date information in regards to the information reported by the U.S Census, and minor updates to the name of Messiah University due to a change in their accreditation.

 * I guess you're good to go, then. Id suggest discussing any further edits on the article's talk page before making them. Thanks for properly disclosing your affiliation. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 20:19, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
