July 2023
Hello Tommyc0101. 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:Tommyc0101. 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. 331dot (talk) 09:42, 13 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for your message, i'm a first time user here so this is all new to me! I am a director at South of the River Pictures, but there is no financial gain here I am just trying to get our company registered on Wiki. The company is a TV / Film production company set up by the multi-award winning Olivia Colman and her writer / producer husband Ed Sinclair so i think it is of interest to the general public. Is this allowed? Many thanks Tommyc0101 (talk) 09:54, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Being a director counts as paid editing; you do not need to be specifically paid to make edits or specifically asked to edit- your general salary is sufficient to trigger that disclosure requirement. You also have a conflict of interest and should be familiar with that policy.
 * Wikipedia is not a mere database of companies where companies can register themselves just because they exist. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, which we call "notability", such as the definition of a notable company. Articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic, and those articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets that notability definition. In this case, it is possible that your company's films merit articles while the company itself does not- there must be significant coverage of the company itself for it to merit its own article. The sources you provide(the BAFTA one does not work) seem to just tell of the routine activities of the company, which does not establish notability.  If the company itself has won awards(not just its films or staff), that might establish notability.  Please read Your First Article. 331dot (talk) 10:08, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
