Paid editing
Hello Musegroupwriter. 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:Musegroupwriter. 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. Theroadislong (talk) 17:49, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Hello there, thank you for your message and my sincere apologies. This is my first page creation and I thought I had followed the rules in terms of keeping it fact based.
 * To give you context, I am a content writer employed by Muse Group therefore happy to share any necessary information regarding the company. The idea behind creating this Wikipedia page was to share info about Muse Group - the parent company of existing products and apps with their own Wikipedia pages, and connect all the information together under the parent company umbrella. It was never my intention to promote, or use this as free advertising. This is purely for information purposes only. I genuinely believed I had followed the rules in terms of keeping the information informative in the manner of an encyclopedia, and everything that I have included is available on the websites connected to the apps and Muse Group.
 * I would be really grateful if you or anyone could share information on the next steps in terms of disclosing company information as confirmation that this is a paid contribution.
 * Many thanks in advance and my apologies once again as I would really like to have this page unblocked as well as look after its maintenance, on an on-going basis. Musegroupwriter (talk) 15:27, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something, Wikipedia summarises what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. We have zero interest in what you or your website has to say. You need to follow the instructions above to change your user name, but you will not be allowed to advertise your company here. Theroadislong (talk) 16:16, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there, as I said previously; I'm not trying to advertise Muse Group. I was writing information in the same way I have seen written about apple, Spotify, Facebook and countless other corporations. I will check the links you have supplied - thank you. I don't know what you mean by "We have zero interest in what you or your website has to say", and thought that was unnecessarily harsh.
 * I'm happy to comply with figuring out how to create a Wikipedia page therefore am open to any constructive advice, if you would care to share it.
 * Many thanks in advance. Musegroupwriter (talk) 16:31, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please read Yes, it is promotion.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:42, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Musegroupwriter. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page Draft:Muse Group has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see this page on citing sources. This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat.
