Information icon Hello, I'm Arjayay. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Stevie Nicks, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 21:46, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Minordrew. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:DM Digital (Cincinatti), 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:Minordrew. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Minordrew|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.   — Jeff G. ツ 00:53, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeff G. I left a response on your talk page, but just figured out how to respond here as well. While I am associated with the agency, I am in no way receiving compensation for writing the article or submitting biased information. I simply wanted to provide a clear, unbiased source of information about the agency that can be edited by any (reliable) source to help improve the content of the article. I was unaware of how to disclose my association with the company, since I have only had my wiki editor account for a week now. Fortunately, another user, Deb,[1] referenced me to an article and I am now able to integrate the correct tag that discloses my (unpaid) association with the brand. Thanks!

Minordrew, you are invited to the Teahouse!

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:DM Digital (Cincinatti), 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.   — Jeff G. ツ 00:52, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon 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.

Your company

Hello, and thanks for your message. It seems to me that you don't have nearly enough understanding of how Wikipedia works to be writing new articles from scratch. I would recommend you start by making small edits and getting used to the place; then, if you still think you can demonstrate the notability of your company, using independent sources, you can get started again in draft space. You can always seek assistance from Wikipedia:Teahouse. Deb (talk) 08:01, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
