Welcome to Wikipedia! (TW) |
I think it's okay to blank this content since it's my talk page, and the conversation is duplicated on the COI page? Maintained the IP declaration at the top. Please revert if this is not okay. My apologies for earlier discussions. Tag: Replaced |

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, 185.113.248.250. We [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia|welcome]] your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things [[Special:Contributions/185.113.248.250|you have written about]] in the page [[Glass Lewis]], you may have a [[conflict of interest]] (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the '''[[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|COI guideline]]''' and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations|FAQ for organizations]] for more information. We ask that you: |
|||
*'''avoid editing or creating''' articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors; |
|||
* '''propose changes''' on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{tl|request edit}} template); |
|||
* '''disclose''' your COI when discussing affected articles (see [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI|WP:DISCLOSE]]); |
|||
*'''avoid linking''' to your organization's website in other articles (see [[Wikipedia:Spam|WP:SPAM]]); |
|||
*'''do your best''' to comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Core content policies|content policies]]. |
|||
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|WP:PAID]]). |
|||
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.<!-- THE FOLLOWING CATEGORY SHOULD BE REMOVED IF THE USER IS BLOCKED, OR IT IS DECIDED THAT THIS USER DOES NOT HAVE A COI, OR THIS TEMPLATE HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE WITH NO ACTION. -->{{#ifexpr: ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} - 20190712150548) < 5000000000 | [[Category:User talk pages with conflict of interest notices|{{PAGENAME}}]] | }}<!-- Template:uw-coi --> [[User:ToBeFree|~ ToBeFree]] ([[User talk:ToBeFree|talk]]) 15:05, 12 July 2019 (UTC) |

[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello 185.113.248.250. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to [[:Glass Lewis]], but you have not complied with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements]]. Paid advocacy is a category of [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|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 [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] and what [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|Wikipedia is not]], and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to [[Spamdexing|black-hat SEO]]. |
|||
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the [[Help:Talk pages|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 [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|articles for creation]] process, rather than directly. |
|||
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are '''<u>required</u> by the [[wmf:TOU|Wikimedia Terms of Use]] to disclose your employer, client and affiliation.''' You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at [[User:185.113.248.250]]. The template {{tl|Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{tlc|paid|2=user=185.113.248.250|3=employer=<var>InsertName</var>|4=client=<var>InsertName</var>}}. 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. <s>In either case, '''do not edit further''' until you answer this message.</s> {{Z159}}<!-- Template:Uw-paid1 --> [[User:ToBeFree|~ ToBeFree]] ([[User talk:ToBeFree|talk]]) 15:08, 12 July 2019 (UTC) |

Hi ToBeFree. I'm currently a student researching Glass Lewis (it's local office is in the same city as my school). I took the time to edit the page in conjunction with my study as I felt it wasn't very accurate or helpful in certain instances! Hope that clears things up.
