Are you a paid editor with a conflict of interest?

Hello Charlenechanps. 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 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:Charlenechanps. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Charlenechanps|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. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:57, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth, I do not have a financial stake in the writing or editing of this article. However I would be pleased to make additional edits if it would better reflect my position as an impartial contributor to this topic. Do let me know if there were specific sections of the article that you felt were problematic. Thank you. Charlenechanps (talk) 03:45, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Charlenechanps, are you in anyway related to PHUNK or its members? If yes, that will be a conflict of interest also. --Xaiver0510 (talk) 01:23, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Xaiver0510, thank you for responding to my query. I am not, however, if you could provide advice on how I could improve on my edits to the page, I would be glad to find out more / make the necessary improvements. Thank you. Charlenechanps (talk) 08:13, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Good to hear that. Generally the articles you created, added on are pretty much okay as it is now. The biggest bugbear for Singapore related articles is that we do not have enough sources or coverage. For Art related articles, it probably be covered more by magazines rather than any news article. So its either you approach them directly and ask them if they are aware of any coverage in print or online, source the articles and write up here or hit the libraries and look for magazines or google for their coverage etc. --Xaiver0510 (talk) 02:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the advice, Xaiver0510! I'll look for more references and link them accordingly. Would you be able to also explain more about the process of removing maintenance template messages, please? I've been reading up on this topic but haven't found very clear guidelines on how to determine if a page's maintenance template is ready to be removed. Thanks very much.
