Hello Eah2beah2b. You have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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.
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. ElKevbo (talk) 22:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Eah2beah2b. I have your talk page on my watchlist so I was notified that ElKevbo had posted the above message. I just want to say that I find the message's accusatory tone to be unwarranted given your record of contributions to Wikipedia, and it also says things that probably make no sense to you.
- For context, Wikipedia unfortunately has a history of people adding links to their own websites that are not appropriate. Probably 95% of the time, when someone adds a link to their own website it is done in order to promote the website or organization. Your contributions indicate that you're one of the rare people who consistently adds relevant links, in the spirit of contribution to open knowledge rather than using Wikipedia to promote something.
- I personally don't see anything wrong with the links you've added, and they seem to mostly have been accepted as positive contributions. Having said that, Wikipedia is a big community and some people would be much more comfortable if instead of adding a link to a video directly to an article, you post an Edit request on the article Talk page. So I would suggest considering that route going forward.
- The part of Elkevbo's message that says
...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.
is mumbo-jumbo from one of Wikipedia's boilerplate messages. It is relevant only for people who have created new articles about themselves or the organization they work for, and has no relevance for you as far as I can tell. - Again, thank you for your contributions and I hope you'll stay. Let me know if I can help with anything.
- Best wishes, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 04:36, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

edit Hello, I'm ThadeusOfNazereth. I noticed that you recently removed content from Rosa Ramirez Guerrero without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Hello! Your edit replaced the entire page with just your bullet point that you added. In the future, the "Preview Edit" feature before publishing can be a lifesaver (and has saved me a few times too!)
