Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, like you did in the article Draft:Shift4 Payments. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:43, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Paid editing?
Hello Paul.jonah.paul. 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:Paul.jonah.paul. 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) 20:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

There are multiple disclosures on the Talk page of the draft stating that I work for the company. They are located here: Draft talk:Shift4 Payments, Draft talk:Shift4 Payments, and Draft talk:Shift4 Payments. I am not a paid editor. My company is the subject of the article. Paul.jonah.paul (talk) 17:04, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If you work for the company then you are deemed to be a paid editor and need to disclose this on your user page. Theroadislong (talk) 17:25, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk page comments and using REF
Hello, I see that you've added talk page requests with embedded REF tag references in them. Please remember to add to the end of your sections in future, to attach the references to your talk page section, so that they do not get mixed up with any other such references within the talk page, and get associated with the correct conversation. (You may also wish to clean up the talk page by adding this template to the end of other sections that may also be missing the reflist-talk tag.) -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 09:11, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
