User talk:Sallyvaughan96

Hello Sallyvaughan96. 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:Sallyvaughan96. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Sallyvaughan96|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. Bishonen | tålk.

Sourcing

And hello again, Sally, welcome to Wikipedia. In your so far only edit, you change some information, but you don't provide a source for the change — you leave the original source, which indeed sources the original content. That's a problem. You need to provide an updated source for the updated content. But note, also, the information above: it's best if you don't edit the article directly, but propose changes on the "talkpage", Talk:Monogram Foods; and you need to respond to the post above before editing further.

This has been added to my page

Thank you very much, Sally. You can sign your posts by adding four tildes, ~~~~, which will turn into your signature + a timestamp when you publish. I'm sorry to say your most recent edit to Monogram Foods is not acceptable. "Monogram Foods acquired Quality Foods Processors, a pork belly processor in Denison, Iowa in June 2021" is fine; it's fact, and sourced. The next bit, about "companies that share similar values" is unacceptably promotional. Also, it's taken word for word from the source. This is not allowed; please read our copyright policy. I have removed it. These kinds of stumbling-blocks are the reason you have been "very strongly" advised to not edit the article directly, but to propose changes on its talkpage, Talk:Monogram Foods. If you continue to add text directly to the article, and it continues to be unacceptable, you will end up blocked for wasting the time of Wikipedia's volunteers. Please, again, use the talkpage.
