April 2024 edit

 

Hello Nastya-salangina777. 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 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:Nastya-salangina777. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Nastya-salangina777|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) 12:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, dear partners!
I represent BGaming game provider. My business e-mail is also connected with BGaming (I can confirm it in any appropriate way). You can also check my LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anastasiya-salangina/. I just wanted to create a page of my company on Wikipedia. My team and I prepared a true and valuable information about our company. Personally I do not have any paid interest in posting about BGaming on your website. We follow the goal to enrich Wikipedia with trusted information about our company.
I will be really thankful if you share any recommendations what should I change to have the info about BGaming posted.
I do highly appreciate your help!
Looking forward to hearing from you! Nastya-salangina777 (talk) 06:45, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your answer. If you work for the company, that makes you a paid editor, you do not need to be specifically paid to make edits. The Wikipedia Terms of Use require you to make the paid editing disclosure. You should also become familiar with the conflict of interest policy.
You seem to have a common, fundamental misunderstanding about Wikipedia and what we do here. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and what they do. Wikipedia articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the subject. Those articles summarize what independent reliable sources with sigificant coverage have chosen on their own to say about (in this case) a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. "Significant coverage" is that which goes beyond merely telling of the activities of the company and goes into detail about what the sources sees as important/significant/influential about the company, not what it might think is important about itself. For example Ford Motor Company does not merit an article merely because it manufactures and sells motor vehicles, but because independent sources have chosen to extensively write about Ford and things like its economic impact, influence on manufacturing a whole, things like that.
As I said in my review, the draft tells of the activities and offerings of the company- this does not establish notability as Wikipedia defines it. The awards that are described(largely niche industry awards) don't contribute to notability at all because the awards themselves do not merit articles(like Nobel Peace Prize or Tony Award or Academy Award) I'm sorry to disappoint you, but based on what you have done here it doesn't seem that your company merits an article at this time- a fact common with the vast majority of the millions of companies in the world. It's possible that some of them that might have an article don't merit one and we volunteers simply haven't gotten around to removing them yet. 331dot (talk) 07:23, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
