Hello VeroniqueEdhec. 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 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:VeroniqueEdhec. 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. MrOllie (talk) 16:04, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Response from VeroniqueEdhec
Hello MrOllie. I am a senior research engineer at EDHEC-Risk Institute. EDHEC-Risk Institute is a non-profit research center whose expertise is recognised around the world. We don't sell anything. Our research is made available publicly and free of charge. It is therefore in this context that I undertook to complete subjects on which our expertise could bring additional knowledge to Internet users. This is by no means a commercial approach and I therefore consider that I have respected the Wikipedia charter. I would therefore like to be able to continue to contribute in the same way and that my deleted texts be put back online.


 * Wikipedia policies draw no distinction between for profit and not for profit entities. You should not be promoting your employer regardless of how much (or how little) money they make, and you still must comply with Wikipedia's conflict of interest and paid editing guidelines as linked for you above. - MrOllie (talk) 13:28, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
