Declare any connection edit

 

Hello RhodesGallery20. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Nick Smith Artist, 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:RhodesGallery20. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=RhodesGallery20|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. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:21, 26 August 2020 (UTC)Reply


Hello, I am a freelance writer who writes articles about contemporary artists and shows. I have no financial stakes invested in creating this article, nor am I directly being paid by the subject in question to create this article. I am a friend of Nick Smith's and am writing this article on my own accord.

Please let me know how this can be resolved.

Many thanks

Connected contributor template - conflict of interest edit

I am disclosing that I do personally know Nick Smith (the artist in the article).

I have written this article independently and of my own accord and have not been paid or incentivised to create this page by the artist.
