  Hello, I'm Njd-de. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Simon Mignolet, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. NJD-DE (talk) 11:52, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

 

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Simon Mignolet, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Scotty michaels, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Scotty michaels|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. NJD-DE (talk) 12:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

 

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. NJD-DE (talk) 12:16, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Scotty michaels. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Barratts Shoes, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. NJD-DE (talk) 11:53, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
