			] Hello 143.231.249.138. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to ], gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Misplaced Pages's ]. Paid advocacy is a category of ] (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Misplaced Pages to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on ] and what ], and is an especially serious type of COI; the ] regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to ].

			Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the ] 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 ] process, rather than directly.

			Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are '''<u>required</u> by the ] to disclose your employer, client and affiliation.''' You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at ]. The template {{tl\|Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{tlc\|paid\|2=user=143.231.249.138\|3=employer=<var>InsertName</var>\|4=client=<var>InsertName</var>}}. 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. <!-- Template:Uw-paid1 --> <span style="font-variant:small-caps">] <sup>] • ]</sup></span> 20:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
