Hello UppercaseMumbai. 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:UppercaseMumbai. 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. bonadea contributions talk 10:26, 17 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Bonadea,
 * I have not been paid for this article on Wikipedia, nor is there any such arrangement in place. I am a journalist in Mumbai and I felt I had enough information / material on this topic to create a Wikipedia page about it. This was to understand how this works. I run a content company called Uppercase, but Cordelia is not a client of ours - if you go over their website, the quality of the writing should make that apparent :) I do, however, know the firm's publicist socially - she's been a friend for many years as we first met when I started writing for the papers, which was almost 20 years ago - which is why I was able to get the photos and details to use here. I framed the text on the lines of the text of the Wikipedia pages of various other cruise lines but I'd be happy to re-draft the text and post it again. Again, this is an experiment and it would be a thrill to see a page I created out there. It is NOT a paid assignment (which is why I can reframe the text to make it more clinical without checking with anyone). I would have done this in response to the last message itself, but the comment that was left the last time only flagged certain words so I thought that was the only change required.
 * So, happy to re-write it to make it clinical, but, that said, if it's simply not possible to go ahead, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll give it another go when my schedule permits.
 * Thank you,
 * Anjana Vaswani

Your submission at Articles for creation: Cordelia Cruises (September 12)
 Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk/New_question&withJS=MediaWiki:AFCHD-wizard.js&page=Draft:Cordelia_Cruises Articles for creation help desk] or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by S0091 was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This would have to be completely rewritten to meet WP:NOTPROMO. Also, trade publications are at best weak sources because they exist to promote an industry and The Times of India is known for taking payments for positive coverage so is a weak source.
