Piper-Heidsieck
[edit]
Hello Da Gizmo 24. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Piper-Heidsieck, 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:Da Gizmo 24. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Da Gizmo 24|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. :Jay8g [V•T•E] 09:21, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Piper-Heidsieck, 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:Da Gizmo 24, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Da Gizmo 24|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Jay8g [V•T•E] 04:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

- Editing on behalf of a company is a serious issue, and generally goes against Wikipedia's guidelines. Please do not edit the article directly, and instead follow the COI edit request guide.Jay8g [V•T•E] 18:30, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
