December 2024

Hello Ultracreate. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Hidoc Dr., 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:Ultracreate. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ultracreate|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) 15:13, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DoubleGrazing,

Thank you for your message and for bringing these important policies to my attention. I would like to clarify my intentions and address your concerns.

I am an employee at Hidoc, and I have undertaken the task of creating a Wikipedia page voluntarily. I have not been paid or promised any compensation, directly or indirectly, for this effort. My goal is to contribute accurate and neutral information about Hidoc in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines. While we initially hired an agency to assist with this, their inability to meet the requirements led me to take this responsibility upon myself.

I understand Wikipedia's stance on conflict of interest and paid advocacy, and I am committed to maintaining transparency and neutrality in my edits. As an employee, I realize my involvement may still constitute a conflict of interest, so I am more than willing to follow Wikipedia’s best practices.

If required, I will add a disclosure to my user page to further affirm my intentions and clarify my role. Please let me know if this approach would be acceptable and how I can do the same, and if there are additional steps I can take to address your concerns and align my efforts with Wikipedia's policies.

I appreciate your guidance and look forward to your response and acceptance of the review. Ultracreate (talk) 05:48, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying. In your reply, the first sentence of the second paragraph is the salient one, "I am an employee at Hidoc". As an employee writing about your employer, you are automatically covered by our paid-editing rules, even if you're not paid explicitly to edit Wikipedia. Please make the disclosure, thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:57, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the disclosure on my user page. I wanted to ask if I need to resubmit the draft or take any further steps? My submission was rejected with the reason: "This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Hidoc Dr, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time, we will consider the other submission and not this one."

The article prepared by the agency I mentioned earlier was not done properly and seems written from a marketing perspective. Is there any chance my submission could be reviewed instead of the other one? Ultracreate (talk) 09:40, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @DoubleGrazing, As I don't have access to the account which had been submitted Draft Hidoc Dr. Requesting you to please let me know if there is any way we could remove draft that has been created by the agency.

I appreciate your guidance and look forward to your response and acceptance of the review. Ultracreate (talk) 05:29, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no way to remove that draft. Even you tell the 'agency' that created it to request deletion, it would not be accepted as they are not the only author to have worked on that draft. If the draft is abandoned, it will be automatically deleted six months after the last human edit. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:17, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
