February 2023

Hello Lisa Rechelle. 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:Lisa Rechelle. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lisa Rechelle|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. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. The thread is Continuing UNESCO COI issues. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Talkpage recommendations

I'd like to suggest that you slow down with the voluminous talkpage proposals and focus on one or two topics at a time. Jumping from one topic to another with requests for extensive revisions makes it hard for other editors to follow your drift, and leads to unfocused edit requests. Your proposals are very detailed, but should start from general summaries in order to gain consensus, not directly to multiple paragraphs of content. You will need to make a case in each topic that these are due emphasis related to the topic, and proportional to academic or journalistic coverage, which you have not done. And it appears to me that your suggested content is somewhat polemical in nature, making statements in Wikipedia's voice to introduce essays on particular concepts, which start to stray from the formal WP:NPOV organization.

Gender Gap Task Force

We would love you to join the Gender Gap task force. There you can coordinate with editors who are addressing the effect of the gender gap on women on Wikipedia – whether as article subjects, editors or readers. If you would like to help, please sign up or visit the talk page. Happy editing, ParticipantObserver (talk) 17:38, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
