November 2020

Hello Marina Castle. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Castle Malting SA, 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:Marina Castle. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Marina Castle|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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:03, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Curb Safe Charmer:.

Thank you for your reply.

I think there is a misunderstanding. I'm not paid, I am an employee of Castle Malting. We would like to have an article about our company on Wikipedia and it's a pity that this article looks like an advertisement because we tried to put only worldwide known facts and history in it.

Please advise what should we change in this article so it wouldn't look like an advertisement and we could place it on Wikipedia (observing all the rules).

Thank you in advance for your help and have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marina Castle (talk • contribs)

@Marina Castle: There has been an understanding, but I am afraid it is on your part, not mine. Firstly, as an employee of Castle Malting you are paid. Your job is to promote the company. You must therefore comply with Wikipedia's policy on paid editing. Secondly, it is a common misunderstanding by companies that as part of their marketing or social media strategy they should have a Wikipedia article about them. Wikipedia is not a directory. It does not, and should not, have an article about every company. Instead, there are criteria that we use to determine which companies should be written about, and which should not. Lastly, Wikipedia does not allow editing for the purposes of promotion of anything. Therefore, I won't be helping you to promote your business. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:09, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Curb Safe Charmer:.

Thank you for your reply. I understand. Please advise if there is any possibility for us to publish information about our company? We will use just general information about the company, without any advertisement. Or should we pay for this article?

Thank you in advance for your help and have a nice day — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marina Castle (talk • contribs)

@Marina Castle: Wikipedia does not accept payment for placement. The notability criteria are the sole determinant of whether a company is considered worthy of inclusion of a Wikipedia article; existence does not equal notability. If the company does not meet these criteria, then an article about it will not be allowed, and that is non-negotiable.

Wikipedia defines notability as having gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time. The only way to meet the notability criteria is for you to show that multiple reliable, third-party sources have chosen on their own to write in-depth about your company, without any financial inducement or other conflict of interest. WP:Perennial sources is a good sampling of what sources are considered reliable. You will see that they are usually mainstream news organizations and academic press, as well as reputable publishers of books, magazines and newspapers.

We have no interest in what a company wants to say about itself; that is, by definition, promotion. Sources like your own website (a primary source), or self-published sources such as press releases, social media, or interviews with company personnel are unacceptable and cannot establish notability.

One last thing. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Castle Malting SA

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:Castle Malting SA, 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.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, Marina Castle. 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 WP:Spam);
• 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.Deb (talk) 18:50, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
