Hello Maxime.P68. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Betiton, 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:Maxime.P68. 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. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 13:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * I don't understand your refusal. I'm not being paid to do this article. In fact, I've been working for Betiton for 2 years now.
 * The purpose of this page is to reassure our customers and future customers that Betiton is a regulated casino with numerous awards and is available in several countries.
 * We can't think of a better way to talk about Betiton and explain its history than Wikipedia.
 * I spent over 3 days writing this article and gathering as many sources as possible. I think it's a shame to have wasted so much time for nothing... How can I prove to you that I'm not doing this for the wrong reasons? Do you need proof? Maybe I can send you my employment contract? Or my ID to prove that I'm not being paid to do this article?
 * Best regards,

 * As you work for the company, you have a clear conflict of interest and you would likely be considered a paid editor under wikipedia's rules as you do have a financial stake in promoting the topic. Wikipedia does not exist to talk about or explain your company's history, nor to reassure your customers of anything - that is clear promotion and not acceptable here.
