Welcome
[edit]Hello MarketingWRH. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Western Reserve Hospital, 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 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 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:MarketingWRH. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MarketingWRH|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. --VVikingTalkEdits 14:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects
Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.- To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
- If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page):
{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
.
Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.
Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

- Do you agree to make a paid editing disclosure, and follow WP:COI by making editing requests on the talk page? PhilKnight (talk) 15:27, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes Twentythird1900 (talk) 15:11, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- If I understand correctly, I should request all edits through this page? Thank you for your response. Twentythird1900 (talk) 13:40, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Editor's with a conflict of interest usually request edits through the talk page of the article to be edited (e.g. Talk:Western Reserve Hospital). Requests made here likely won't get much attention. The article talk page is where editors interested in the article will see it. signed, Willondon (talk) 14:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! Twentythird1900 (talk) 18:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- You would still need to use this template: {{paid|employer=name of employer|client=name of client}} and disclose your COI on your user page (User:Twentythird1900) first. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 18:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
