Oxide Games
Hello,

Can you please clarify as to how Oxide Games is not notable enough for their own Wikipedia page? In addition to the game they developed, their engine was one of the first to utilize DirectX 12 and their next strategy title is heavily rumored for reveal soon. Shouldn't these two facts make them notable enough to support their own company page?

Welcome
Hello Zebraman123. 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:Zebraman123. 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. -- VViking Talk Edits 13:52, 8 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello Viewmont Viking,
 * I would like to clarify that I am not being paid for my edits. I am not being financially compensated directly nor indirectly for my edits. I am no "Paid advocate". I am someone interested in contributing to the gaming side of Wikipedia and this was to be the first of such contributions. With this now cleared up, can you please re-instate my edits as your comments on them as "promotional garbage" are an erroneous interpretation of my intent.
 * Thank you!
