Mandatory paid editing disclosure
Hello Franceszoe. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

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, and if it does not, 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:Franceszoe. 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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Jytdog (talk) 01:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, I haven't been employed to create this article. Wildfox Couture was a requested article under the fashion heading which I picked as it interested me. I am a university student and have an assignment as apart of my course to write and publish a wiki article. What are some examples of "promotional language" throughout the article so I can rewrite certain parts so it is of a neutral point of view and meets the wikipedia standards? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franceszoe (talk • contribs) 08:44, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying.  Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting (see WP:THREAD) - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in front of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and so on, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this  in front of your comment. Threading/indenting also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread.  I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit.  That is how we know who said what to whom and when.


 * Please be aware that threading and signing are fundamental etiquette here, as basic as "please" and "thank you", and continually failing to thread and sign communicates rudeness, and eventually people may start to ignore you (see here).


 * I know this is unwieldy, but this is the software environment we have to work on.  Will reply on the substance in a second... Jytdog (talk) 08:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I am very surprised that you cannot see what horrible advertising copy you have written. You wrote "Their iconic t-shirts are usually made with a high quality, cotton polyester mix.". That is advertising copy, not encyclopedic content. You also violated their copyright by pasting their advertising about "edgy yet effortless style of California" into Wikipedia. Ugh. Please do the training for students and talk to your teacher. Jytdog (talk) 09:03, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

draftified
I have moved the page back to draft; it is at Draft:Wildfox Couture. I have added the AfC tag - you can click the "submit" button if you believe it is ready for mainspace. I very much doubt that any independent editor will accept it as it stands, as it is full of promotional language. Jytdog (talk) 01:35, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
