Hello Anna.j.davis. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Oxford Sigma, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:Anna.j.davis. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Anna.j.davis|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) 06:07, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello @DoubleGrazing thank you for your reply and patience. I have provided a disclosure on my user page User:Anna.j.davis. Regarding submitting the article through the articles for creation process, I thought I had done this. At the top of this page, it says 'Your submission at Articles for creation: Oxford Sigma (August 25)'. Can you please advise? Anna.j.davis (talk) 10:58, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for making the disclosure so promptly, this is appreciated.

Yes indeed, you have submitted your draft to AfC review. The above message is just a canned template, and may include superfluous information such as this.

Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:57, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying, @DoubleGrazing. It appears on my end that the article is still under review. Is it possible for you to please confirm if this is correct, or if the article review has been paused since our conversation here?

Many thanks Anna.j.davis (talk) 12:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

That's correct, it is awaiting review. It has been declined twice, and resubmitted most recently yesterday.

I would rather not review this myself, but informally I can tell you that a quick scan of the sources suggests that they may still not amount to evidence of notability. Per WP:NCORP (the notability guideline for companies), we need to see significant coverage, directly of the subject, in multiple (3+) secondary sources (newspapers, magazines, TV and radio programmes, books, etc.) that are reliable and entirely independent (of the subject, and of each other).

Note that this excludes routine business reporting (appointments, new locations or markets, product launches, partnerships, financial results, investment raised, M&A, etc.), anything based on press releases or other publicity materials, anything where a representative of the business is being interviewed or commenting on matters, as well as any sort of paid or sponsored coverage or 'churnalism'.

If you wish, you may highlight the 3-5 sources that you feel are the strongest in terms of establishing notability, and I can take a look at them to see if they match the above specs. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

This is some of the most helpful guidance I have received thus far. Thank you. I will take a look and update soon. Anna.j.davis (talk) 12:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Taking a look and doing something about it appear to be different. This draft cannot be accepted intros state. See below. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
