User talk:Siddharthkapoor309

April 2022

Hello Siddharthkapoor309. 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:Siddharthkapoor309. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Siddharthkapoor309|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) 13:51, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for the response and detailed explanation. I would like to inform that I am creating the draft by the name of Driefcase to publish the Wikipedia page of this company by the same name for which I am currently working for. This is the first time I am creating an article on Wikipedia, so the entire environment is new for me, and I am figuring things out on the go. Please let me know what I need to do to disclose my affiliation with the company. Thanks. Siddharthkapoor309 (talk) 15:07, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I have written the following disclosures on the user page:

{{paid|user=Siddharthkapoor309|employer=Driefcase|client=Driefcase}}

{{UserboxCOI|1=Driefcase}}

Are these fine to disclose my affiliation? May I now publish the draft for review? Please let me know. Thanks. Siddharthkapoor309 (talk) 15:27, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

You only need the paid disclosure, I have fixed this for you. You should not directly publish the draft; you should submit it for review by clicking the "submit this draft for review" button. However, if you were to submit it now, it would be declined quickly. It is sourced to nothing but announcements of routine business activities. This does not establish that this company meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Any article about this company must only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the definition of a notable company.

I see that you use the term "startup"; startups almost never merit articles. Companies must typically become established in their field to the point where others wholly unconnected with the company take note of it and choose to write about it with significant coverage, describing the importance of the company. It is not enough to just tell us what the company does. 331dot (talk) 15:47, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
