User talk:Phrase Editor

Hello Phrase Editor. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Phrase (software), 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:Phrase Editor. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Phrase Editor|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. .

I see that you made a disclosure on the article talk page, but you do need to make a formal disclosure on your user page as well, as described above.

Once you have done that, you can place edit requests on the article's talk page, using the edit request wizard. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 12:15, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Phrase (software), give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, 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:Phrase Editor, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Phrase Editor|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. .

Please respect the paid contributor policy, and do the following:

• Disclose your conflict of interest properly.
• Do not edit the article directly.
• Instead, post edit requests to the article's talk page. bonadea contributions talk 13:01, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
