Hello Mario Petillo. The nature of your edits 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:Mario Petillo. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mario Petillo|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. 331dot (talk) 13:35, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi @331dot, you're right: I reported the conflict of interest on Wikipedia Italy and not here. I had already spoken to @Zxcvbnm about this during the drafting of Batora: Lost Haven. I'm not paid for these changes, but I'm the company's PR Manager, so it's part of my job. Is the same template that you indicated to me valid? Then, as I did for Batora: Lost Haven, I would like to ask you for advice on how to improve the Stormind Games page in order to be able to publish it. Thank you Mario Petillo (talk) 13:44, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, employment counts as paid editing, especially if Wikipedia editing could conceivably fall within one's job duties(such as with a PR manager). My message above provides a form to use, which you may place on your user page. You may also read WP:PAID for additional guidance.

Please understand that each language version of Wikipedia is separate, and all have their own rules and policies. What is acceptable on the Italian Wikipedia is not necessarily acceptable here; the English Wikipedia tends to be stricter than others. The draft you wrote mainly discusses the products of the company, and not the company itself and why sources consider it important or influential. I get that the company likely sees itself that way, but Wikipedia is interested in how others see the company. An article about your company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 14:12, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Ok, thank you: I have posted a disclosure to my user page. Speaking about Stormind Games, if I eliminated the entries regarding the published video games and left only infos coming from the interviews of authoritative sources (Pushsquare and Gamesindustry, for example), would it be ok? Mario Petillo (talk) 14:33, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

If you mean interviews with company staff, that would not contribute to notability(though they could be used for other purposes) as an interview by definition would be company staff speaking about the company. Wikipedia wants to know what outside sources say about the company, without any involvement from the company. 331dot (talk) 15:40, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

This; before bothering to start working on an article, you'll want to get your three best non-interview-based sources from the press that speak directly about the company; not just one of its products. Per WP:CORPDEPTH, things like announcements don't apply either; it has to be substantive coverage. If there aren't any, or there are less than that, then the studio likely isn't notable for Wikipedia and won't be accepted no matter what. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:55, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Remothered: Tormented Fathers into Draft:Stormind Games. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:46, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
