Hello Jpowpow. 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 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:Jpowpow. 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. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 06:38, 30 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, wasn't aware. Yes - I'm an employee of Phoenix Labs, which doesn't have an Wikipedia article. I will add the tag to my user page. The problem I'm running into is that there IS an article for Phoenix Labs - an inactive software development company. We are often getting mistaken for that software company and Wikipedia is mixing up our information with theirs as seen here in the search console:https://www.google.com/search?q=Phoeix+labs+developer&oq=phoeix+labs+developer&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57.2407j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8. What are the options for creating a Phoenix Labs article for the game studio.Jpowpow (talk) 06:45, 30 April 2019 (UTC)


 * To clarify, when I say mixing up their information with ours, I mean that in the Wikipedia box, there is our logo, our competitors, and our products listed alongside their company description and history.

Thanks for uploading File:Phoenix Labs (game studio) logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:51, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
