Undisclosed paid editing

edit
 

Hello Cwycontent. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Cleanaway, 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:Cwycontent. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cwycontent|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. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:24, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

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.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Would like to change my username to be in compliance with wikipedia's policy. I have read and understood the policies I have violated and would like access to bring my account into full compliance, beginning first with the username change as requested. I am a writer employed by Cleanaway to monitor changes and update the wikipedia page. If this name change is approve, I will then update the page to reflect the Paid template and disclose this information in full. I will also in the future, make only requests for the Cleanaway page to be edited and will not make any direct edits. Cwycontent (talk) 02:58, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I have renamed your account. I will lift the general block for your username, but I will maintain the partial block from editing the Cleanaway article for now, as if you intend to make edit requests there is no need to remove it at this time. Please understand that it is not merely a "page", but a Wikipedia article about your company. It will not necessarily say what the company wants its to say, and should only summarize what independent reliable sources say about it. 331dot (talk) 08:34, 21 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

You will also need to make the formal paid editing declaration on your user page, as well as the article talk page. Please review WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 08:37, 21 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. I didn't address this section directly from you, because help is welcome wherever it comes from, but I wrote it with you in mind. These seem like the kind of issues where a contact within the company would be a really, really valuable thing for Wikipedia to have. 92.24.246.11 (talk) 18:20, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Cleanaway, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

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.
