Hi Hoary,
Thank you for your time and consideration here. Our goal is to provide accurate information for prominent Architects in Northeast US, starting with Charles Hilton. Our page appears to be "better" (less biases, more informative) than other Architect's pages we've used as reference. Can you please advise any additional changes we'd need to make here?
Thanks,

Help edit

Hi there ZI Jony / GenQust! Our goal is to contribute encyclopedic-level resources for renowned Architects throughout the Northeast United States. We're starting off with Charles Hilton - we've leveraged Wikipedia's "best-practices" documentation and referenced existing Architect's wikipedia pages to ensure ours is equal if not better in its tone. Please advise us on the best way to proceed with publishing this article, as we intend to contribute many more! --Wanderingwicks (talk) 14:39, 6 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Mandatory paid editing disclosure edit

 

Hello Wanderingwicks. 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:Wanderingwicks. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Wanderingwicks|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. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:23, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Also please answer: who is this "we" you refer to above? Is this account being used by more than one person? ~Anachronist (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
