Hello, Wikiarticlewiz!
Having an article 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! Jack Frost (talk) 05:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello Wikiarticlewiz. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:AdMass, 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:Wikiarticlewiz. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Wikiarticlewiz|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. Jack Frost (talk) 05:06, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi Jack, I am trying to reply to your message but I am not sure how. I have already made a response in my talk below, I also wanted to contact you on your page but seems like you have blocked me from being able to do that. So I will attempt a response here.
Please see my response below:
Hi Jack, thank you for staying on top of your job an ensuring that Wikipedia is not used for advertising purposes. I love Wikipedia and it's volunteers like you that make it a good and safe environment for everyone to enjoy.
In this scenario you are indeed mistaken, I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. The reason I chose to create this article is because I live in Hamilton, where the Hamilton Spectator article was originally published. After reading it I was touched by this company of two people from my hometown who started this company against all odds during the pandemic, and wanted to help them be noticed, perhaps which is why it may seem like a bit of an advertisement. While I am not being compensated or have any relation with them whatsoever, I did want to reflect the article I read from our city's newspaper, which was indeed promotional in nature since it was in the business section, and perhaps that was reflected in my Wikipedia article. I would be happy to make some edits if you would like to let me know how to better adjust it to help maintain Wikipedia's integrity. The articles that I read in order to create this one were: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Media_Examiner and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google and I thought that I was simply doing both Wikipedia and the company a favour by making my contribution, as I followed the tone that I have seen in both of these articles. I understand that it is a small company, but I am a strong believer in equality and helping "the little guy" and I believe that everyone should have an equal chance in our society, no matter how much money they have to throw at it.
Deletion of this article was quite upsetting to me, I spent many hours on trying to find information about this company and ensuring that I properly reference material using government databases and newspaper publications. Please let me know how I can adjust the article so that it can pass your approval, and I would be happy to make the required edits. Thank you!

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:AdMass
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:AdMass, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Jack Frost (talk) 05:06, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
