undisclosed paid editing
[edit]
Hello Lizapren. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Eric Bjornlund, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.
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, 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:Lizapren. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lizapren|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Vexations (talk) 12:16, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Ways to improve Eric Bjornlund
[edit]Hi, I'm Vexations. Lizapren, thanks for creating Eric Bjornlund!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. "leading expert", "founding generation of experts", "critical legal and technical leadership", "intellectual leadership" are all terms used without attribution to promote the subject of an article, while neither imparting nor plainly summarizing verifiable information. And that's just from the lead. Tone it down please and stick to verifiable facts.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
