Hello Orthodiv. 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:Orthodiv. 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. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 05:39, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.  Spencer T• C 09:58, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

The email address you put on this account is not relevant; we don't have access to what the specific email address is and have no way to know if it is a "business" or "personal" email address. You may use whatever email address you wish(or none at all, though you couldn't recover your password if needed). Regarding your editing, you seem to have a common misunderstanding about what Wikipedia is. It is not a place to merely tell about the existence of an organization and what it does- that's considered promotional here, you don't have to be soliciting or selling something. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion; existence is not enough. An article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Nonprofits are treated no differently than for profits. Is there anything you want to edit about other than your friend's organization? 331dot (talk) 07:52, 13 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I have provided reliable sources and it is stated in an objective manner. I am posting this article to add to the encyclopedia.
 * Can you please provide specific feedback to help me comply with Wikipedia policies/terms for this draft article? Orthodiv (talk) 06:33, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * We're not just looking for objective facts. We're looking for what I describe above. The sources you offer are 1) your friend's organization's website, which is not independent, 2) the website of the organizations's parent organization, also not independent, and 3) mere documentation of the membership of the organization in another.  No significant coverage in independent reliable sources. If you have no interest in writing about anything other than your friend's organization or its field, this is the end of the road. 331dot (talk) 08:11, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
