Hello Or Hadar. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
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:Or Hadar. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Or Hadar|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. 331dot (talk) 15:47, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- @331dot: Fellow help desk stalker here. I think this might be a bit overkill. If you look at the monday.com edit history, there were no edits to the article by this account - the editor was just trying to find out how to see their article traffic. They announced an IPO last week and article traffic unsurprisingly spiked. I'm going to remove the COI flag unless there's some inside editing that I'm missing, but if you want to restore the flag, please also start a discussion on the talk page so we can see what triggered the flag. Thanks! TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:02, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Timtempleton It's okay with me, I placed it to get other eyes on it, as if one employee is monitoring the company article, another could have edited it. If you are satisfied, that's fine. Thanks 331dot (talk) 22:10, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- @331dot: Sounds good. It looks OK now - I did some cleanup and have it on my watch list. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:39, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Hey guys, sorry for the late response (it was night here). as stalker wrote - I reached out to see if there is a way to see page traffic for our Wikipedia page because it is highly visible on Google and we are having big coverage in the last few days, so I reached out to check how I can see that. I'm not that familiar with Wikipedia, and after posting my questing I got the impression that everyone can see it - so I removed it (by editing) - it is a kind of mistake on my end, sorry if it got flagged. Anyhow - thanks a lot for helping me, I really appreciate it! Or Hadar (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- If you intend to make contributions to the article(not just monitor it) you will need to comply with the policies described above. 331dot (talk) 08:28, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
