Hello Countrywidelegal. 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 Countrywide Legal Indemnities, 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:Countrywidelegal. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Countrywidelegal|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. HaeB (talk) 14:17, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, we were only looking to update some information about the number of employees that work for the company, and also remove the information regarding the link to the sister company, since we do not want to advertise these together

Some proposed changes

{{request edit}}

Information to be added or removed: The company is based in Norwich, Norfolk and, as of 2019, employs around ninety staff.

Where mentioning the Japanese Knotweed policy, the information is incorrect by stating "However, these policies will only cover properties that are not affected by knotweed and then only for a few years", where in fact the policy does cover properties affected by knotweed.

Explanation of issue: Out of date / incorrect information References supporting change: cli.co.uk Countrywidelegal (talk) 16:10, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

  Wrong venue  

• Please make your request on the talk page of the article where you're requesting the changes be made. That page may be found in the search bar by placing Talk: in front of the page's name. Regards,  Spintendo  16:17, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:31, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
