If you are being compensated in any way, by anyone for your work on Wikipedia, It's imperative that you declare any such relationships immediately.

Hello Chessterb. 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:Chessterb. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Chessterb|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. Quisqualis (talk) 04:14, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

No I am not. I am a declared paid editor! You can check my userpage. I have declared all my paid edits! But I am also doing regular edits, whatever I have not declared paid editing is not paid editing. Is there anything in particular you are asking about? maybe you didn't see that I have declared that I am a paid editor? Chessterb (talk) 07:16, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Chessterb, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 20:13, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
