Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election, you may be blocked from editing. Turini2 (talk) 17:35, 28 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I am an employee of Gong Xiaohua's company, and I am very familiar with his situation. He is a successful entrepreneur who has been involved in direct sales for many years. Regarding the pyramid scheme mentioned in your profile, the Canadian federal government withdrew its charges in March 2021, so the pyramid scheme is not established. He has now been certified by the City of Toronto for candidacy in the mayoral election, and there is a brief personal introduction on his campaign website at www.edwardgong4mayor.com. I added a statement that he is a recipient of the Order of the British Empire, which is certified. Therefore, I did not arbitrarily edit Gong Xiaohua's personal information. Thank you!

 * revise: Gong,xiaohua is a recipient of Diamond Jubilee Medal, not the Order of the British Empire. Zhifangtou (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello Zhifangtou. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election, 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:Zhifangtou. 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. NOTE: Given that you have already indicated that you are a paid editor, please review this boilerplate carefully and do not edit further without responding appropriately. Thank you. --Hadal (talk) 20:56, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
