Paid

Hello Fabbrouwers. 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 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:Fabbrouwers. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Fabbrouwers|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. 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. --VViking_TalkEdits 14:26, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Viewmont,

Thanks for your message.

I'm in charge of the communication of the company. Indeed.

I used the {{paid|user=Fabbrouwers|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. I hope I dit it correctly. Please tell me if not.

I made a correction on your User Page. Please remember to review WP:COI. Thank you for declaring your paid status.--VViking_TalkEdits 14:37, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! Fabbrouwers (talk) 14:41, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Also, you should read WP:COIEDIT. Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:07, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Copy that @Mr.choppers. Just read. Duly noted. Fabbrouwers (talk) 08:17, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I did some changes yesterday but none appears. And I don't see any edits potentially made by members. Can you please provide me some infos? I'm a beginner... Thanks. Fabbrouwers (talk) 08:37, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

From COIEDIT:

• you are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly;
• you may propose changes on talk pages (by using the {{request edit}} template), or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard, so that they can be peer reviewed;

Wikipedia generally does not encourage COI editing; if you see anything egregious which needs changing then add the template to the talk page and wait for someone else to change the article.  Mr.choppers | ✎  13:26, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Got it, thanks! Fabbrouwers (talk) 14:00, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
