User talk:OVWAGH

April 2023
Hello OVWAGH. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Scalable Business Technologies, 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:OVWAGH. 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. I see you declared a COI; the paid editing policy is stricter. 331dot (talk) 08:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * 331dot, thank you very much for this clarification. I am, indeed, affiliated with Scalable Business Technologies but am not receiving compensation for creating this article, so did not disclose as such. The draft submission is very much factual as represented in the business filing documents with the State of Tennessee. Please take a look at the submission to verify that it is entirely factual and deserves a place here? Please and thank you. OVWAGH (talk) 08:35, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * First, if you are employed by SBT, you are a paid editor, you do not have to be specifically paid or asked to edit. Regarding your editing, you seem to have a common misunderstanding as to what we do here. Wikipedia is not a place for businesses to tell the world about themselves or document their existence. Wikipedia is not a database where mere existence warrants inclusion. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, which we term "notability".  For a business, we have the definition of a notable business.  Not every business merits a Wikipedia article- one does if it receives significant coverage in independent reliable sources that chose on their own to provide it.  Any article about a business must summarize those sources. Business filing documents are primary sources and do not contribute to notability. Neither do staff interviews, press releases, announcements of routine business activities, and the like. Do you have at least three independent reliable sources that chose on their own to write about your business and what is important/significant/influential about it? 331dot (talk) 08:56, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
