Hello, I'm WebCite. I noticed that you recently removed some content 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.

HiDBassistant! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there! Delivered by HostBot on behalf of the Teahouse hosts 16:03, 10 October 2016 (UTC) |
Hello DBassistant. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Derek Blasberg. 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.
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, 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:DBassistant. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=DBassistant|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. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:11, 10 October 2016 (UTC) the disclosure has been added to my user page thank you for help[reply]
