Hello AbrInge. 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:AbrInge. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AbrInge|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. Giraffer ^{(talk·contribs)} 17:34, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. First of all, thank you for allowing the dialogue on this point.

I explain why the edits on the Bimbo page: I am making the edits as a way to contribute on Wikipedia about an important company, which had no relevant information. That is why my changes were not periodic and in indefinite periods of time. If you check the previous version you will find that all the information is referenced to third party sources to avoid being advertising. At no time is there any allusion to the purchase of products, assets or any type of proselytizing.

Also, the user who reverted the changes alluded that several tables were "badly formatted", which I do not believe is a reason to eliminate important parts of information such as the brands that make up this corporation.

Similarly, it is mentioned that "it is not an investor site" and this is correct, but Wikipedia should be a primary source of information for all types of people, including those on the corporate side. At no time are opinions on this topic omitted and only what is already on the Internet is published with information sources from various media outlets.

I would ask that these changes be reviewed, reading the version before all the changes, and reinstated for the benefit of complete information for everyone to form their own opinion.

Welcome!

Thanks especially for your good additions to our Bimbo article. I've restored most of your content (can't guaranteed it will stay, but it might.) I did though agree that the 'Internationalization' & 'Brands by region' sections were not up to our normal standards. You could discuss that on the article talk page if you wished.
