 * Hi Theroadislong
 * Thank you for your note. I guess I'm not surprised my first effort at submitting an article has failed although I don't know why.
 * I have tried to follow the format of other publications' pages in the category in which I am hoping to see FROOTY added. I can see very little difference between what has been published and what has been rejected. We haven't made the news like they have!
 * Some of the sources I have cited are credible, external and reliable.
 * Sources which are linked to FROOTY can either be removed – or justified in that they demonstrate what is claimed.
 * Are you able to provide to provide better detail please? Am I close?
 * I don't know if I should be asking you questions here or whether I should go to the Help Desk referred to in your post. I shall go there now.
 * Thank you in advance

 * Linkedin.com and their own website are not reliable independent sources and the other two don't mention FROOTY? Theroadislong (talk) 14:16, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello AndanoD. 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 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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:AndanoD. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. 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. Theroadislong (talk) 14:16, 23 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Theroadislong, I am the publisher of FROOTY. I am not being remunerated but I do wish to see FROOTY represented in category. I have done my level best to avoid making any market comparisons or claims such as "widest-circulating" in the article. AndanoD (talk) 16:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
