Hello Uberlibris. 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 Adelaide Central School of Art, and that 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:Uberlibris. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Uberlibris|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:29, 21 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jmertel23!

I had already stated on my user page that my duties at Adelaide Central School of Art include editing Wikipedia articles relevant to the School and South Australian visual arts and I added that to my user-page before I edited the article on the School. I apologise if that statement did not adequately constitute disclosure and I will add the suggested template (I was not aware of it). I tried very hard to ensure that I used a neutral point of view in the edits that I made and would be interested to learn which edits I made that violate NPV or constitute conflict of interest or are inadequately referenced to secondary and tertiary sources so that I may fix them. Please note that I did not create the article to begin with.

Kind regards, Uberlibris (talk) 05:37, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Uberlibris, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I do see that you added the template to your user page (thank you!), although I had seen your statement that you left there prior. I should have been more specific in my above request; in addition to that disclosure, you also need to utilize the {{paid contributor}} template on the talk page of each article you edit for which you have a connection. Thanks! Jmertel23 (talk) 19:23, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hi Jmertel23, apologies for the delay in replying. When I had read the guidelines on disclosure, I had understood them to mean that the disclosure should go on the user page OR the article talk page, etc, not that they had to go on all of them. I apologise for that misunderstanding. I also had difficulty with the provided template on the article talk page as the wiki system told me I had to use the connected contributor template or connected contributor (paid) template instead and I then had to make several attempts to get the syntax right. The disclosure statement has now been added to the talk page, although I am not entirely certain that I have added it in the correct place. Please review and let me know when I can edit the article again as I want to change the summary paragraph at the beginning to include a neutral statement on the School's teaching paradigm, rather than the promotional statement that is currently there. I also want to delete the section on degree courses, add some information on the gallery, and improve the references by adding library database links (for some reason Australian ISBNS are not being recognised by Worldcat even though they are in there). Thanks! Uberlibris (talk) 01:58, 27 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Some baklava for you!
