Hi, I saw you notice on the Jürgen Czarske. I am an employe of Prof. Czarkse (proof here: https://tu-dresden.de/ing/elektrotechnik/iee/mst/die-professur/mitarbeiter). I changed the language of the German article to english, so I can link this English version to the original German one.

Hello 7vivien7. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Jürgen Czarske, 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:7vivien7. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=7vivien7|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.

My response: I am employed as a student assistant at the professorship for measurement and sensor system technology at the Technical University of Dresden. Professor Czarske is the professor there. My tasks include maintaining the professorship's website, digital accessibility and updating the Wikipedia article for Professor Czarske.

- Hi @ 7vivien7: Coolio. As your a paid editor, you need to disclose your one by following the recipe document at WP:PAID and WP:DISCLOSURE. You should have done this, before you started. You've broken Wikipedia Terms of Use by not declaring as a paid editor and you might still be blocked. scope_creep Talk 11:06, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
