Hello Richard Ketter. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to ThirdHome, and that 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:Richard Ketter. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Richard Ketter|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:06, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your message. I read these articles now for the first time. I was a part of the company but I'm not paid for doing this I did this on my own. I had no previous experience on Wikipedia therefore, I tried to follow the steps and put the article as a draft hoping that someone will guide me and Wikipedia will do something but when it was approved within a few hours I thought I have nothing to do with it anymore until I received the discussion note. Also, if it's a policy I'll never touch the article again, instead I'll request you first. What should I do next? If you can deal with the situation as a parent of the article I'll appreciate. thank you once again Richard Ketter (talk) 22:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
