Hello Alexasayre. 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. 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:Alexasayre. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Alexasayre|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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:42, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for disclosing your conflict of interest but please read the message I posted above clearly. I said 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. Please refrain from re-adding promotional material into the article. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:35, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I do not understand where I am supposed to edit on the talk pages. Can you provide instructions on how to do that? Do I create a new section in the talk pages and include all of my edits there? I am not making any major changes, simply updating with current information and accolades. Your assistance is much appreciated. Alexasayre (talk) 16:28, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HickoryOughtShirt?4: Please see my comments above and let me know how best to proceed. Alexasayre (talk) 16:30, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you need to follow WP:Edit requests on the talk page. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:45, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
