Hello User132023. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Daniel S. Goldman, 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:User132023. 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. Joyce-stick (talk) 21:24, 5 August 2022 (UTC)


 * You are mistaken-- I am a fan of NY10 politics correcting the record for all the candidates so voters have the neccessary info. User132023 (talk) 23:27, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That's great. But could you explain how changing from "among the wealthiest," a quantifiable measure based on net worth, to "among the most successful," a purely subjective opinion, is considered "correcting the record?" The reference (Bloomberg) cited is an article about Mr. Goldman's finance based on financial disclosure forms. Nowhere in the article did they mention Mr. Goldman's success.
 * You changed "raised more than US$200,000 from immediate and extended family members" to "raised more than US$200,000 from supporters." The reference (Politico) cited is an article explicitly about political contributions from Mr. Goldman's family. Here's a direct quote: "while candidates typically tap into friends and family connections early in their fundraising, taken together Goldman’s haul is significant. He raised more than $200,000 from immediate and extended family — including aunts, uncles and cousins — along with a few others involved in organizations connected to the family." Having raised money from his family is simply a fact. There's nothing inherently positive or negative about such fact. Why did you feel the need to change from family to supporters?
 * You also removed information that came from reputable news outlets, including City & State NY, the New York Times, the New York Daily News, etc., with no explanation given. Johnnycorns5354 (talk) 23:57, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Joyce-stick. I noticed that you recently removed content from Daniel S. Goldman without adequately explaining why.

If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Zinnober9. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from Daniel S. Goldman. However, Wikipedia is not censored.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Daniel S. Goldman. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you. Joyce-stick (talk) 23:46, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
