Hello DPrimdahl. 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 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:DPrimdahl. 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) 12:16, 8 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * I'm sorry to hear I give that impression with my text.
 * I am not paid to write this article and I'll do my best to review the text and change the paragraphs that make it seem that way.
 * I have used the software I'm writing about, but now it's only as a hobby.
 * I saw that no one had written about it and wanted to do it, so my text is based on an interest in educating about the software, not advertising it. It's difficult to find sources other than those from the website of the software, but I'll keep looking.
 * Best wishes

 * If you're not paid and have no association with the software other than being a user, there is no issue. Best wishes. 331dot (talk) 14:12, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply!
 * Thank you for the clarification. I'll resubmit when I've looked through the text a few more times.
 * Best wishes

 * Thank you for the links, I'm reading through them now.
 * I'll look for better sources and try to improve the article to the standard needed; thank you for the help!
 * I know that the notability of this topic might be questionable. I would argue that it's notable enough (especially considering it was given a spot on a top five of e-commerce softwares) and that's why I began the work on it, but I understand why some might think otherwise.
 * Best wishes

 * The draft is very much worded like an advertisment, telling of the software's features and how easy to use it is. We don't want to know what the manufacturer considers to be the "ethos" of the software.  Top 5 lists and awards are usually meaningless in terms of notability(and the draft talks very little about even that) unless the list or award itself merits an article(like Academy Award or Nobel Peace Prize).  You have 13 sources, they are
 * The software's website, a primary source that does not establish notability
 * website where it is available, not significant coverage
 * the software's website
 * the software's website
 * the software's website
 * the software's website
 * a brief mention on a Top 5 list, some coverage but not a lot
 * a GitHub listing that merely documents when the software was released
 * just documents the movement of the software to somewhere else
 * the software's current website, not an independent source
 * I can't access this referece
 * basically an ad for the software
 * a top 5 list
 * These things do not establish notability. The draft needs to be less about its features and more about what makes it important/significant/influential in its field- what makes it notable. 331dot (talk) 09:03, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That's my bad.
 * I've read through the links provided by S0091 and found the mention that top fives aren't that good. I also found the explanation of sources and how they are considered very helpful in order to understand the critique you are bringing - and I thank you for it!
 * As I mentioned, I began this draft as I wondered why there wasn't an article for it yet and wanted to "fill in the gap", seeing as many similar things have articles. However, I clearly didn't read the guides well enough before beginning.
 * The 11th source is similar to the second, so that isn't significant coverage either - I don't know why you can't access it; the link works fine for me, but that's irrelevant, seeing as the source doesn't bring significant coverage either way. For the eigth; that is only there to document the release of the software, and not to bring notability.
 * I took several similar softwares' wiki-pages as a starting point to try and write this page in a similar way. I may go back to the first draft on my PC which were simply a copy with the names, numbers, and similar changed. Though I do like the software I'm not here to advertise it (I think there are better places for that), so thank you for pointing out the things that needs to go. I included the "ethos" to try to paint a more in-depth picture, but I now better understand what is the purpose of the articles in an encyclopedia and shall try to contribute to that.
 * This sentence: "The draft needs to be less about its features and more about what makes it important/significant/influential in its field- what makes it notable." is very helpful, thank you!
 * Best wishes

 * Be advised that as someone new to article writing it is usually a poor idea to use other articles as a guide, as these may themselves be problematic and you would be unaware of this due to inexperience. As this is a volunteer project, inappropriate articles can and do get by us, we can only deal with what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those classified as good articles, which have been reviewed by the community. 331dot (talk) 09:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That's good advise. I'll do that instead, thank you again for your help!
 * Best wishes

 * I got an unstable connection notice when trying to access the source I couldn't see. Not a big deal. 331dot (talk) 09:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
