[edit]Hello, I'm Bonadea. I noticed that you recently removed content from Tiftarea Academy without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. bonadea contributions talk 18:32, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tiftarea Academy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 20:10, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Tiftarea Academy, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 16:22, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hello Hfletcher1. 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 Tiftarea Academy, 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:Hfletcher1. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Hfletcher1|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. You need to comply with the terms of use in re paid editing prior to any further edits.

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Tiftarea Academy, 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:Hfletcher1, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Hfletcher1|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. John from Idegon (talk) 19:04, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
