User talk:Alexandra Hui

October 2017

Hello Alexandra Hui. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Honestbee, and that 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:Alexandra Hui. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Alexandra Hui|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Cunard (talk) 07:22, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted the edits you made to Honestbee, which did not comply with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. As an example, the text honestbee's vision is to become the world's most convenient services marketplace and its mission is to provide positive social and financial impact on the lives and businesses it touches is promotional. Concerns have been raised in the past about promotion and paid editing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Honestbee (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Honestbee.
