Hello Ursus365. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Markets.com (broker), 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 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 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:Ursus365. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ursus365|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello DoubleGrazing,

Thank you for your feedback. I have added the mandatory disclosure to my user page as requested. Could you please advise how I can improve the Markets.com article to meet Wikipedia's notability and neutrality guidelines? I have referenced existing Wiki pages such as NAGA Group, IronFX, FXDD, ActivTrades and ADSS (company) for structure and content.

Your guidance on specific improvements or additional sources needed would be greatly appreciated. I aim to ensure the article adheres to all Wikipedia standards.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Thank you for making the paid-editing disclosure.

Per Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure#Disclosing_external_accounts_on_Wikipedia, you must also disclose any accounts of yours on other websites where you offer freelance editing services of this kind.

As for the declined draft, you need to find multiple (3+) sources that meet each aspect of the standard outlined in the decline notice, summarise what they have said about the subject, and cite them as the sources. FYI, none of the sources currently cited meet this standard. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello DoubleGrazing,

Thank you for your guidance. I have added the mandatory disclosure to my user page and confirmed that I do not have any other accounts on any other websites for paid editing.

I understand the need to find multiple (3+) reliable sources that provide substantial coverage of Markets.com to meet the notability standards. I am currently in the process of identifying and adding more these sources to the draft.

Your further advice on specific types of sources or improvements would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

So just to clarify, what the 'accounts on other websites' bit means is, if you're user Schmursus365 on Fiverr or ACME Copywriting on LinkedIn, and you're using those platforms to promote your Wikipedia editing services, you must disclose your accounts here by linking to them from your user page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:16, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello DoubleGrazing,

Thank you for the clarification. I confirm that I do not offer Wikipedia editing services on any other websites or platforms.

I am working on improving the Markets.com article by adding multiple reliable sources as suggested. Any further advice would be appreciated.

Best regards,
