Hello MLIDdorman. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Macdonald-Laurier Institute, 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 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:MLIDdorman. The template {{ Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MLIDdorman|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. 24.211.70.219 ( talk) 14:27, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello, I am an employee of The Macdonald-Laurier Institute and have now disclosed as much on my user page. I would simply like our page to reflect the nature of our work which is non-partisan and not accurately described as 'conservative' or 'libertarian'. We also are independent from any donors and it is inaccurate to list the Atlas network as an affiliation. Please advise how the page can be made accurate.

Thanks for disclosing the fact that you are a paid editor, using the template for your user page could help. 24.211.70.219 ( talk) 14:46, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I have now done so. Please advise how the inaccurate information can be removed from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute page. MLIDdorman ( talk) 14:50, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply

By providing neutral sources to the content you want to add, or by describing it in the talk page of said page (I think). 24.211.70.219 ( talk) 14:52, 19 October 2023 (UTC) reply
