October 2022

Hello Mattnbenson. 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:Mattnbenson. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mattnbenson|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) 16:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

I just added it to my user page. Thank you so much for your feedback, and helping me adhere to the guidelines. That being said, I think Everyrealm is still worthy of a dedicated page in my personal opinion. Do you foresee a path forward that would enable it to be published? Mattnbenson (talk) 17:53, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

We prefer to use the term "article" as opposed to "page". There is a subtle but important distinction there. The draft won't make it as it is now. It must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say, showing how the company meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. For establishing notability, press releases, interviews, announcements of normal business activities, brief mentions, and any primary sources do not establish notability. You've cited a large sale, but not offered sources that go into detail about why that is significant as the source sees it. What are your three best independent reliable sources with significant coverage? (generally only three are needed to pass the AFC process). 331dot (talk) 18:06, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

That makes sense! Those distinctions definitely matter, I get what you mean.

Here are some sources that seem to fit those guidelines:

-https://hypebeast.com/2021/11/the-metaflower-super-mega-yacht-nft-sells-for-a-record-650000-usd Hypebeast wrote about the yacht sale

-https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/virtual-superyacht-sold-for-650k A niche Yacht publication with a large reader base mentioned the yacht first and foremost in their article about the emergence of yacht in the metaverse

-https://futurism.com/the-byte/650000-nft-yacht-metaverse Futurism published this article with a commentary on the yacht sale

Another good one - our project The Row was featured in architectural digest in one of their think pieces about the implications of the metaverse:

What do you think? Mattnbenson (talk) 19:05, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey - Just checking in here. Did you get a chance to review my last comment? Mattnbenson (talk) 17:14, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I'm still not really seeing notability here. The closest is probably the last source you mention, but it only mentions your company a little. I will admit to being impressed that your company got someone to plunk down $650,000 for something that doesn't physically exist, but I'm not seeing sources describe how that's particularly influential in order to merit a standalone article. There could be an existing article about these concepts where this sale could be added. I'd try to start there and make an edit request on the relevant article talk page. 331dot (talk) 17:46, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay! I get what you mean, thanks for your perspective. I'll poke around and see what I can do. Mattnbenson (talk) 19:57, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
