Thank you for reviewing our page. We have reviewed other similar pages (Bing Webmaster Tools, Sitemaps) and both have fewer references from most of the same sources. We actually have more. One of our categorizations does appear to be under math and science, this is not correct. Could this incorrect categorization be a reason why we are having difficulties? IndexNow is a digital search engine optimization protocol (IndexNow.org) similar to sitemaps developed by Google, which does have a Wikipedia. Can you make some suggestions how we can correct the issues you are seeing? VWellsMicro (talk) 22:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)vwellsmicro

Hello VWellsMicro. 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 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:VWellsMicro. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=VWellsMicro|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. ~Liance^talk 19:47, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

My apologies, I was not aware. IndexNow is not a paid product. It is a free open-source protocol for indexing website content that was developed by Microsoft and Yandex collaboratively. I work for Microsoft on multiple similar projects. I was not directly hired for the purposes of creating this Wikipedia. I have heavily reviewed the reliable sources materials and am not clear on why the industry journals are not considered reliable. I am a bit stuck ...do you have any suggestions on what more I can provide other than professional industry journals? This is a internet protocol. Our sources are primarily within the web community.
