January 2018[edit]
Hello, I'm Auric. I noticed that you recently removed content from Judge Rotenberg Educational Center without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Pilose399. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Judge Rotenberg Educational Center, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Suzamm (talk) 01:44, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- Obviously this person endorses the program, despite known human rights violations rivaling those of third world dictatorships. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:02, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

October 2019[edit]
Hello Pilose399. 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 Judge Rotenberg Educational Center, 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:Pilose399. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pilose399|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. Tgeorgescu (talk) 19:41, 9 October 2019 (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 Judge Rotenberg Educational Center, 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:Pilose399, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pilose399|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Tgeorgescu (talk) 17:32, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
You still have not responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying you may be blocked from editing. Tgeorgescu (talk) 17:17, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. Tgeorgescu (talk) 20:56, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
