Hello Fisherman887. 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:Fisherman887. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Fisherman887|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. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 09:27, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fisherman887, over a year has passed and you are still editing Henley & Partners and related subjects. Could you please adddress this conflict of interest notice? Edwardx (talk) 11:33, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Edwardx. Thanks for the reminder and the simple answer is no, I don’t see a COI. I don’t know the company other than from the outside. CbI programmes caught my interest several years ago and I do see great potential in them. The pages I used to edit where those that have the most information about the topics including the page of the industry-leader. While the positive benefits of CbI is also seen by many newspapers and experts, there still seem to be attempts on Wikipedia to defame rather than inform. If (any) allegations are justified, I do not have any problems with them. Yet I do think that if they are not justified and misleading, they should be deleted on Wikipedia. The sentence which I deleted is indeed very misleading and links a credible player in that industry with a murder. This is a very serious incrimination and by now, we know who the perpetrators are. I therefore started a discussion about this on the talk page a month ago and only one other editor replied. You did not engage in this discussion but just reversed the edits. Why?
