Hello 67.87.57.220. 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 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:67.87.57.220. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=67.87.57.220|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.

As previously advised, your edits 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:67.87.57.220, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=67.87.57.220|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia.
- John from Idegon was clear. He does not want you posting to his talk page again. Meters (talk) 20:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:John from Idegon. Except for notices required by policy, do not post on my talk page again. I volunteer to do this, and I refuse to help shills like yourself who cannot be bothered to attempt to learn anything about Wikipedia on their own whose only purpose here is to publicize someone. That isn't what Wikipedia is. And you are a PAID editor. Your compensation is whatever your reason for taking the internship is. Register an account, take some responsibility for yourself, and perhaps eventually you may be competent enough to edit Wikipedia. You'll find few interested in helping you, however.

- Please read WP:OWNTALK. Once JfI removes your post and asks you not post on his talk page you need to stop doing so. Continuing to post there is both WP:DISRUPTIVE and is seen as WP:HARASSMENT. This can lead to a block. Your cooperation will be appreciated. MarnetteD|Talk 21:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
- And please read WP:PAID. "Interns, on-loan staff, and unpaid workers, including volunteers, are deemed to be employees. If they are directed or expected to edit Wikipedia as part of their tasks, they must make a paid-contribution disclosure." You state that you "work for Todd Komarnicki's production company" [1] It does not matter if you are an unpaid intern as you state [2], Wikipedia still considers you to be an employee, and thus you have a conflict of interest. If you were expected to add this information then you are considered a paid editor and must make a the required disclosure. Meters (talk) 00:02, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
