 <p>This is an online portal with a summary and various exploration options for contract work done for <a href="https://vipulnaik.com">Vipul Naik</a>. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data (with the exception of private payments, that account for about 1% of total payments), is <a href="https://github.com/vipulnaik/contractwork">available on GitHub</a>. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD).</p>
+<p><strong>Starting March 8, 2017, all aspects of contract work that involve editing Wikipedia are suspended until further notice.</strong> Prior to this, Vipul Naik received no third-party payment to finance the contract work, and in particular, the Wikipedia portion of it. The suspension is due to the contract work coming under scrutiny at Wikipedia's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard&oldid=769384347">Conflict of interest/Noticeboard</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Vipul.27s_paid_editing_enterprise">Adminstrators' Noticeboard/Incidents</a>. If you have questions, please get in touch with Vipul Naik. Once the discussion is wrapped up, more information will be posted here.</p>
