Hello Moosecan. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:LUMbA: REDUX, 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:Moosecan. 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. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:09, 10 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi. I do not have any financial stake in writing about Lumba Redux. I am simply a fan of the game and wanted to write an article about it. I tried being neutral to the best of my ability. I will do everything I can to get the Wikipedia page up because I don't want my work on this to go to waste. From what I gathered you want the game to get some professional coverage? I can try to reach out to some journalists and recommend them the game. Once a few reviews and stuff pop up, I'll add them in and resubmit the page. Moosecan (talk) 18:19, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not simply any journalist, but someone from a website with a known reliable editorial staff, which narrows it down a bit to large sites, such as Eurogamer, IGN, PC Gamer, etc. See WP:VG/S for a full list of accepted sources. It is unfortunate you would lose your work, but it seems heavily unlikely the game would satisfy notability criteria at any point as those sorts of sites usually review games on release or not at all. The article itself admits the game had "minimal attention" and Wikipedia is not a promotional tool, but a lagging indicator of notability that requires things to already be well-known. Hopefully you are interested enough to work on other games you may be a fan of that do happen to be notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:03, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
