Hello SLPteam. 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:SLPteam. The template ((Paid)) can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: ((paid|user=SLPteam|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. MrOllie (talk) 19:54, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
Here is an example how MrOllie responds to questions regarding COI. Muhur (talk) 20:26, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
Dear MrOllie. I do not consider questions regarding compensation for wikipedia contributions as "silly", do you? Since it is not my intention to distract I will carry on this discussion elsewhere. Muhur (talk) 23:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text ((unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here))
at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
((unblock|Your reason here))
at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:35, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Dear MrOllie, I am not being compensated to update this wiki page, I'm simply updating some outdated textual information in a neutral voice. Simulations Plus has acquired new subsidiaries, products and services since 2018. Our Wikipedia page contains vital information to the public that should be updated. I used public press releases and our public site as references. Please let me know what further steps to take to continue updating this page. I can provide different references or citations if needed. SLPteam (talk) 22:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
