Hello Kwansss. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Singapore FinTech Festival, 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 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. 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:Kwansss. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Kwansss|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. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 06:21, 3 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thank you for replying on my talkpage that you declared you do not have paid COI and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Do note that if you have any COI (unpaid), do refer to WP:COI as well. It is fine if you are in the fintech industry, as long you are not affiliated to MAS, organiser of the SFF, there is no COI. Thanks! --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 06:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
