Hello, I'm UncleBubba. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to ENEA AB have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Also, you marked your edit "Minor". Please see WP:MINOR for info on what is—and is not—a minor edit. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 14:15, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello HikerCharlie. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to ENEA AB, 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:HikerCharlie. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=HikerCharlie|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. MrOllie (talk) 16:59, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

I have added that disclosure.

@HikerCharlie: I see what you tried to do, but it didn't work. You need to remove the "code" and "nowiki" tags from the beginning and end of the text you placed on your user page. Put another way, the line should start with a pair of left curly braces and end with a pair of right curly braces. Also, you should always indent your comments on a Talk page (here) with a colon (":"), and "sign" your insertions with four tildes ("~~~~"). I'm going to indent your comment (above) in a separate edit (because I normally *never* touch other users' comments). Feel free to revert/undo that change if you wish. Cheers! — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 19:26, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the instructions, I have made those changesHikerCharlie (talk) 19:41, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

@HikerCharlie: It's still a little wonky. If you'd like, I'll fix it for you so you can see what it should look like. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 20:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I would appreciate the helpHikerCharlie (talk) 20:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

@HikerCharlie: Done. There are some things I don't know, though (e.g. should you use the "client=" or "employer=" parameter), but you can see what I did and take it from there. Before you do, I recommend you look at the template page Template:Paid for some really good information. Good luck! — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 20:36, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at ENEA AB, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Also, please don't remove good article text (such as the company's HQ location and the origin of its name). — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 16:55, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to ENEA AB. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 18:18, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the comment. Please can you tell me what part of the text I added is considered "promotional" as opposed to factual, so that I can revise it?HikerCharlie (talk) 18:37, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

HikerCharlie, It's the writing style. What you can do is make requests on the talk page instead of attempting to edit the article directly - that is the process for people in your position. See Wikipedia:Simple conflict of interest edit request for details. MrOllie (talk) 18:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

That's not going to happen - we are not going to exchange a neutral description for a promotional one. - MrOllie (talk) 14:00, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
