Hello KalulaTNelson. 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 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:KalulaTNelson. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=KalulaTNelson|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) 11:10, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I am in the process of reading through the - Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#howtodisclose and looking at how to add this to the current draft page. I have been through the process before and had my previous pages completely destroyed so I would like to comply in every way possible. I have not been paid to create this page I am only doing on behalf of the company as a basic information page.
Please let me know how I can be compliant so that I do not break any rules. KalulaTNelson (talk) 11:16, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you work for the company, you are a paid editor, you do not have to be specifically paid to edit or asked to edit. Any financial relationship, including employment, must be disclosed.
Wikipedia does not have "basic information pages". Wikipedia is not for merely providing information. This is not a directory of companies where existence warrants inclusion. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, which we call "notability"- such as the definition of a notable company. Not every company merits a Wikipedia article, even within the same field.
We have articles, not pages. Any article about your company must not just tell of its existence and what it does- it must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. We don't want to know what the company says about itself, only what others say about it(and not based on materials from the company like press releases or interviews). Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 11:21, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your response. Understood, I was basically following the model of - Caxton and CTP Publishers and Printers which is a similar company to ours, which explains the structure. I am currently removing all unambiguity and making sure it does not sit like a directory.
Please bear with me as this is the first article I have created for wiki and will also heed to any feedback when it is sent for draft. KalulaTNelson (talk) 11:29, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
