Hello Student7y335. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Bedrock (investment firm), 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:Student7y335. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Student7y335|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) 09:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Student7y335, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Student7y335|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 09:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, sorry I saw this message after I had made the edit. I was just trying to improve the draft, no harm meant. I apologize, the wikipedia publication process is quite complex and the messages are in posted in several different areas. Student7y335 (talk) 09:28, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

This does not answer the question. Are you a paid editor- somehow compensated to edit the draft? It doesn't have to be money or even anything tangible. 331dot (talk) 09:29, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

No I am not a paid editor. Student7y335 (talk) 10:08, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

How would you describe, in your own words, your relationship with this subject? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Neutral observer. I follow the market and startup world. Student7y335 (talk) 10:27, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Forgive me, but I find that hard to believe. You registered your user account the day after someone associated with this business uploaded the company's logo to the Commons, and a couple of days before created a redlink in another article pointing to the title exactly matching that of your draft. These seem rather remarkable coincidences, don't you think? And then, two days later, as your very first edit, you create a more or less fully-fledged draft on this business, and so far your entire editing history has to do with this same subject. Yet you have no IRL connection with it, at all? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

As stated at the help desk, it is fine if you are WP:PAID, but not disclosing it is not. And, it is pretty obvious you have a connection to the subject and based on the attempts to rush to get this approved there is a good chance you have a connection. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
