Paid editing[edit]
Hello Bkay123. 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 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:Bkay123. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bkay123|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. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 21:19, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Partial block[edit]
You have been blocked from editing article space due to repeatedly attempting to utilize Wikipedia for promotional purposes, and for failure to disclose your conflict of interest per the terms of use. (See previous messages above.) Both of your accounts have been blocked in this manner. If you are willing to make the madatory disclosures, utilize only one account and proceed following our guidelines for conflict-of-interest editors, let us know by putting {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this message and describing how you intend to edit in the future. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:57, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
