Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to The BrandLaureate. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to The BrandLaureate. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 13:42, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we need to provide reliable sources?

All content in Wikipedia must be verifiable. Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and will not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.
Citing non-reliable sources such as fan pages or self-published pages which may be biased violates our neutral point of view policy.
Unsourced or poorly sourced material may damage the reputation of living people or existing groups.
Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it.

For information on referencing citations in Wikipedia articles, see Help:Footnotes, Wikipedia:Inline citation, and Help:Referencing for beginners.

Hello Tbl2018. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to The BrandLaureate Awards, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Tbl2018. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Tbl2018|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. So Why 09:58, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
