"Change on commission" edit

Hi Fabio Roffinott, the disclosure in your edit summaries is almost fine, but it seems to lack the information required by WP:PAID, strictly speaking.

I'll provide standardized advice below. My personal recommendation is disclosing your connection to the companies on your user page, using the preformatted code in the advice below.

Please let me know if questions arise.

Best regards,

Fabio Roffinott, based on current wiki policy (Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure#Conflict of interest guideline), you should submit change in talk page and request edit over there, not directly edit the article (unless routine edit such as fixing typo) Matthew hk (talk) 13:51, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Fabio Roffinott. 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:Fabio Roffinott. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Fabio Roffinott|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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:59, 9 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
