Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

 * It is notable, the English article about OrgPad was deleted some time ago.
 * OrgPad is discussed at length in books and academic papers, such as "Upgrade: Kollaboratives Lernen: Sehen – Fördern – Bewerten" ISBN-13: ‏978-3772716560 by Björn Nölte https://noelte030.jimdofree.com/
 * And yes, I am one of the co-authors of OrgPad - I don't hide that fact in any way. Adam Kalisz (talk) 19:29, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * If the article was deleted it is because the Wikipedia community found that it was not notable by our standards. As to I don't hide that fact in any way - Wikipedia requires that disclosures be made in a particular way - without doing so you are violating Wikipedia's terms of use. Even after making such declarations, you should not be editing about your product yourself - you can use talk pages to make suggestions, which unconflicted editors will (or won't) act on.

Hello Kaliszad. 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:Kaliszad. 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. MrOllie (talk) 13:07, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
