Hello, MartaPTV!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

[edit]
Hello MartaPTV. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Brick Lane Entertainment, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:MartaPTV. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MartaPTV|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi DoubleGrazing! Thank you for your response. I'm not really employed by the company, but they did ask me to create an article for them and, as I saw them growing from the very beginning, I decided to do so for free. They're not advertising their content, just showing it off, as they are doing in platforms like IMDB. They sent me a few other articles from other similar companies and I just tried to follow what they did. If I'm breaking any policy, just let me know and I'll tell them.
- Thank you! MartaPTV (talk) 18:54, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you for explaining. You clearly have a general conflict of interest (COI), which must be disclosed. Whether you have the more specific one of paid-editing, I don't know; possibly. It doesn't that much matter which kind of COI you disclose, the practical consequences are more or less the same either way. Personally, I'd err on the side of caution and disclose paid-editing, but ultimately it's your call, as only you know the exact nature of your relationship. I will post another message below with instructions for disclosing the generic COI, in case that's what you decide to do in the end. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, MartaPTV. 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
