paid editing?
Hello Ellakirbs. 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:Ellakirbs. 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) 15:58, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits
 * So you are saying that you are not the Social Media Marketing Manager for the company? Theroadislong (talk) 15:06, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes I am but what should I do to be able to post a legitimate, non-biased and informative page about a legitimate business?
 * Read the above notice and comply with the mandatory disclosure on your user page, please also remember to sign your posts using 4 tildes. Theroadislong (talk) 15:26, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I find your user interface extremely difficult to understand. I've made what I think is the correct edit in my user section. Also no clue what tildes are

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Ellakirbs. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:E.ON Next, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:07, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I understand, but this is a non-biased entry which just explains what the company is to people who don't know. There's no kind of promotional language used? What can I do further for it to be published? Apologies but my keyboard doesn't have tildes
 * But that is NOT what Wikipedia is for... sorry. Wikipedia has no interest in what you want to say about your own company. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company.Theroadislong (talk) 16:17, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

March 2021
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOUI_JS_signature_icon_LTR.svg located above the edit window.

Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:59, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
