Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Usr TC17, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Tenderstories, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hello Usr TC17. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Tenderstories, 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 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:Usr TC17. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Usr TC17|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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Usr TC17! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:40, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Justlettersandnumbers, thank you for your feedback, sorry for replying after a few weeks.
I confirm that I work for Tenderstories, I am awaiting your specific instructions to refine the draft and proceed with the publication of the page: Draft:Tenderstories.
Thanks in advance for your attention! Usr TC17 (talk) 13:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Usr TC17, your first step is to make an appropriate paid-editor disclosure following the instructions I gave you in the section 'December 2023' above. Once that's done you can go ahead and remove all promotional and all unsourced content from the draft, remove all press-releases, unreliable sources such as IMDb and references that have only a passing mention (or no mention!) of the company. Then identify four or five solid independent reliable sources with in-depth coverage of the company itself (see WP:NCORP – I haven't checked 55 refs in detail, but don't immediately see even one that meets that definition), write some neutral encyclopaedic content specifically about the company, submit for review ... and sit back and wait – review time is estimated at about six weeks at the moment.
