Welcome to Wikipedia, JasonWarnerSA! Thank you for your contributions. I am Denver20 and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Hello JasonWarnerSA. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Takealot.com, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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, 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:JasonWarnerSA. The template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=JasonWarnerSA|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. Vexations (talk) 13:14, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk) - I have updated my details and apologise for any misunderstanding. My intention is to be fully impartial in my edits and will make any amendments required! Please let me know what changes you'd like and I'll edit accordingly.

Thanks for acknowledging that you are a paid editor, but that doesn't mean you can include copyrighted information in the article. What may surprise is to learn that you can't do that even with the company's permission.S Philbrick(Talk) 18:09, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise as to why the majority of the page was removed when only one source was copyrighted? The rest of the sources are not and as such your concern is not valid. If I am incorrect, please highlight which news articles are copyrighted.

When a copyright problem is identified , it is common practice to do a rollback which undoes all consecutive edits by the same editor. There are good reasons for this, even though that might mean reverting some non-infringing material.

I just took a quick look and there are still problems.

Some of the text exactly matches text at:

I will let you fix it.S Philbrick(Talk) 19:25, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
