Hello Mcmikhedoff. The nature of your edits gives the impression 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. 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.
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, 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:Mcmikhedoff. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mcmikhedoff|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Dlohcierekim (talk) 11:43, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Dlohcierekim,
Not sure where shall I reply to your message, thus, I will post it here and on my talk page.
Yes, I'm the FxPro employee, however, I wouldn't call myself a paid publisher as I'm not paid specifically for Wikipedia articles. We used to have a good Wikipedia article for several years. But at some point that article became out of date, so I decided to ask an "experienced" Wikipedian to help. It appeared to be a mistake, as the page now is being considered for deletion. That's why I posted that offer on Upworks seeking for someone who can advise me on how to proceed, which is clearly stated in that job offer. Please be informed that I didn't ask anyone to participate in the deletion log.
So, basically, what I want is to have a proper Wikipedia page about FxPro, that complies with all Wikipedia rules. If needed - I can help with the references. I will not touch that article in order not to have COI.
If there is any way we can proceed with this article - please let me know.
Thank you for understanding, Mcmikhedoff

edit Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 08:20, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
