Hello MargaretZ26. 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:MargaretZ26. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MargaretZ26|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. Theroadislong (talk) 15:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

hello. I am being compensated, but not by Flesher. I work for CWRU (university not affiliated with Flesher) and I am working for Professor Gary Previts in creating biographical profiles in the discipline of accounting. I disclosed this in the edit summary. The "How to Disclose" section of the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure stated this was an acceptable method: "They must do this on their main user page, or on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or in edit summaries." Is this not sufficient disclosure? MargaretZ26 (talk) 16:00, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
For transparency it is preferable to put it on your user page as per the instructions above. Please also note that Wikipedia has zero "biographical profiles" we have articles about notable topics. Theroadislong (talk) 16:03, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I have added the disclosure to my user page. MargaretZ26 (talk) 16:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
