Hello Halloucinations. 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:Halloucinations. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Halloucinations|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. GSS💬 05:08, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello User:GSS I am not a paid editor and I wasn't paid to edit Wikipedia. I apolgize if the changes I made have broken any rules, I thought they were helpful but I'll make sure to do better in the future. Halloucinations (talk) 06:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
The Upwork ad you responded to suggests you'll get paid after the page makes it to mainspace, so I guess technically you haven't been paid to edit yet; however, the paid editing policy also requires disclosure for payments that you expect to receive, not just when the cash is in your pocket. The ad also makes it clear that the text was provided by the article subject, not by you, so posting it to Wikipedia is a copyright violation. Yunshui  07:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for engaging in undisclosed paid editing and adding copyright violations to Wikipedia.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Yunshui  07:52, 5 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Butchbaby & co

Hello, Halloucinations. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Butchbaby & co".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 00:13, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
