Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 14:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Domeniquebs. 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 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:Domeniquebs. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Domeniquebs|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. —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 14:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Domeniquebs, you're doing a great job so far with not editing the article directly! I've left this message so you can have some useful information about paid and conflict of interest editing. The only thing you need to do that you haven't is putting a disclosure on your user page. Happy editing! —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 14:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey asparagusus! I have not made any edits, only proposed changes on the Talk page. I am the Website Manager at Second Harvest. Thank you for letting me know about my user page, I have posted the disclosure! Domeniquebs (talk) 14:31, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
