Hello Beiki15. 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:Beiki15. 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. You need to disclose this on your userpage. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 19:50, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Moonythedwarf. I did mention that I am an employee of SIVA, LLC at the bottom of my article request edits. If that does not suffice, I can also include it on my user page. As far as the particular references included, I only include mentions such as speaking engagements, awards, etc as additional highlights for the potential article, as I wonder how else an editor would be aware of a particular award beyond being mentioned by the individual/company directly.

My apologies, I am obviously new at this and my goal is to have the article process commence without engaging any conflict of interest. Taking out the speaker and award announcements, I am not sure the reference list would be as robust when discussing the history of the business, etc, at least for now. Obviously, this will grow in time, but I want to make sure the editor has enough to work with to even consider beginning the article.

Thank you,
 * If you need those refs to have a full article, then SIVA probably fails the corporate notability guidelines and it's way too soon to write about it. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 20:12, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I wouldn't necessarily need them to have an article, but as far as a FULL article, that will naturally occur over time.
