This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Daffy (company), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. If you hijack another article as you did here, you will be blocked. CUPIDICAE💕 17:41, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was creating a page on the behalf of a new startup company called Daffy and I received this message, mid edit. I looked at the criteria for creating an article about companies free of puffery and do not believe I violated any of the rules. If someone could provide me with some specific examples of what I did wrong I'd appreciate it. I even had external, independent sources linked. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, DaffyGiving. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Ad Orientem (talk) 18:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
