Hello Auwawagbe. 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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 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 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:Auwawagbe. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Auwawagbe|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. 331dot (talk) 10:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, I have no any connections with the subject I'm writing and I never know any compensation that someone will give to edit or make a Wikipedia. I just feel to make the above subject and I have been noticing long tag that's why I have been removing it. If removing it submission tag is not in accordance with Wikipedia policy please let me know. Auwawagbe (talk) 10:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's true that you are technically able to move the draft into the encyclopedia yourself. However, this is risky for you as a new user; it's better for you to get feedback and advice while the draft is a draft; if you place it in the encyclopedia, it is assumed by others that you knew what you were doing and are aware of relevant policies- so if issues are found they will be handled more harshly than if it were still a draft. I highly recommend that you submit it for a review by a more experienced editor, but it's not required.

The main criteria reviewers (and editors when looking at the encyclopedia) use is, would this survive an articles for deletion discussion? If you're close to 100% certain it would, feel free to move it, but it is highly recommended that you have some drafts accepted by others before starting to create articles yourself. 331dot (talk) 10:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So you picked this person at random to edit about? 331dot (talk) 10:16, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
