May 2023[edit]
Hello Love The Andes. 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:Love The Andes. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Love The Andes|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. Aoidh (talk) 15:39, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- I understand that it could look like I have a conflict of interest with the company, but I made the article out of my own volition, as it is established in its field and has enough notability now to warrant an article. I have zero connection with the company and researched the topic carefully and made sure to evaluate each source I put, so it conforms to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. If you believe the article has some issues, I would appreciate it if you could read it and tell me if I potentially made a mistake. I am very new to Wikipedia, but I do know that this type of stuff you are referring to is looked down upon for good reason. Let me know if you have any more questions, I am open to answer :) Love The Andes (talk) 23:12, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
