Hello, Jlambert1984. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Deli nk (talk) 19:59, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Paid editing in Wikipedia
[edit]Jlambert1984. You appear be editing Wikipedia for pay. I say that based your contribs, which are focusing on topics that people edit for pay, and are promotional. My attention was called to your editing on the Cleveland Clinic, which has been a real problem for us, as the institution and various faculty keep hiring people to promote themselves in Wikipedia.
There is a place for paid editors in the community, but getting paid to edit absolutely must be disclosed per WP:PAID and you must follow the other policies and guidelines as well.
Also, it is unclear to me if you have created the accounts:
of if these are people you are training, or if they are unrelated to you, but it seems that they are related to you. If they are your accounts or people who work for you, they would be violations of our WP:SOCK policy (which includes one person creating multiple accounts, and multiple people coordinating in the real world on Wikipedia entries). Would you please clarify? If you disclose we can move past this without drama; we actually have tools to check but I am not engaging them yet, in hope we can just talk this through.
Please know that paid editing and sock/meatuppetting are things the community takes very seriously. If you continue without coming into compliance you will likely be indefinitely banned from editing Wikipedia (which means that future accounts will be blocked as soon as we detect them).
If you are Lambert, please make sure you have read Wikipedia:Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms as well as the story of Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia.
Please do reply about the matters I raised above - the paid editing, and the other accounts. You don't need to confirm or deny who you are in the real world, but you must disclose paid editing (your employer and the client), and if you have been violating the SOCK policy, if you just acknowledge that now and stop doing it, we have no need to escalate that part of this. Please do reply here, just below this. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 09:02, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
