Hello Jamesturner1976. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Delineate, 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:Jamesturner1976. 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.  Qcne  (talk)  17:07, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Jamesturner1976 as you are the self-styled CEO of Delineate you are required to both make a paid editing declaration and a conflict of interest declaration.
 * Failure to do so is a breach of the Wikimedia Terms and Conditions and will lead to your account being blocked from editing.  Qcne  (talk)  17:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi Qcne, thanks for the message. I do have an interest in the company, which I disclosed when I started the submission process
 * I am not "self-styled" :), it is my current position (James (JT) Turner | LinkedIn ) and I have written this in my Wikipedia profile ahead of the submission to be transparent about my role. I have written the article from a factual point of view as clients have compared us to other similar companies that are already cited on Wikipedia. I attemped to write this in an impatrtial way.
 * I do not intend to breach the guidelines, simply put factual information into the public domain.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks, but you need to follow the instructions at WP:PAID and WP:COI to make proper declarations.
 * Once you have done that, you need to find sources that talk about your company and are not just re-written press releases. If you cannot find sources then there can't be an article at this time. Check out our guidelines at WP:NORG.  Qcne  (talk)  17:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Delineate
Hello, Jamesturner1976. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Delineate, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
