Hello Tijsboussier. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to NRG Energy, 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 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. 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:Tijsboussier. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Tijsboussier|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. scope_creepTalk 13:56, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
- Helle Scope creep. I am sorry the nature of my edits suggests I am in some way paid for any changes I make to Wikipedia entries. This is not the case: I am neither directly nor indirectly compensated for my edits. The changes I made last week to the pages about NRG Energy and Direct Energy were entirely due to an article I read about the acquisition of the second by the former and finding upon research that this news had not been added to either company's Wikipedia page yet. I suppose I should not have referred to the press release about this deal and that is why these edits were flagged as suspicious. I will abstain from doing so in the future and will always refer to more independent sources of information. If there are any other things I could do to increase the quality of my edits, please do say so. I will abstain from making any more edits for a while and educate myself more about what Wikipedia considers a proper edit.
- @Tijsboussier: Acquisitions are generally non-notable unless it is in the public interest, as the average reader doesn't care about them. UPE and paid editors and the company cares about them as it shows the company is growing, good for the shareholders. Don't add them if they are not needed. scope_creepTalk 08:44, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
