Hello Carma AlYounes. 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:Carma AlYounes. 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. 331dot (talk) 09:05, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you so much for your reply. I am not being compensated for this edit/draft/submission. Carma AlYounes (talk) 09:09, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, do you have any association with the orchestra at all? 331dot (talk) 09:13, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for your help. I am not directly associated with the orchestra, I am currently assisting in managing the social media aspect and I have proactively created this page to have more presence and credibility.
 * Can you kindly advice on what the next steps should be as the article got rejected? Carma AlYounes (talk) 07:07, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Managing the social media of the orchestra is definitely an association with the orchestra and a conflict of interest that should be formally disclosed. Please read that link for instructions.  You do this management for free? Note that "paid editing" is not limited to specific payment for edits or submissions, but includes any paid relationship with a topic whatsoever.  I'm kinda curious as to why you thought managing the social media of an orchestra is not an association with it.
 * The draft was declined, not rejected. "Rejected" means that resubmission would not be possible.  "Declined" means it may be resubmitted. The article must not merely describe the orchestra and its performances/activities. It must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the orchestra, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable orchestra. Interviews with orchestra personnel, brief mentions, announcements of its routine activities, and other primary sources do not establish notability. Wikipedia wants to know what sources unaffiliated with the orchestra have decided to say about the significance or influence of it as the source sees it, not as the orchestra itself sees it. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
