Hello AmandeepInvertis. 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 Invertis University, 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:AmandeepInvertis. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AmandeepInvertis|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. GirthSummit (blether) 07:45, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Invertis University, 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:AmandeepInvertis, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AmandeepInvertis|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. GirthSummit (blether) 10:08, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Invertis University, you may be blocked from editing. GirthSummit (blether) 13:20, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
Sockpuppet investigation
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fd/Puppeter_template.svg/40px-Puppeter_template.svg.png)
An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Amandeephacker, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

- Hi, I've blocked this account, but you can still use the other one. Please stick to using one account, and don't insert links to things you may have a conflict of interest in. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:42, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
