 Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Hello, Ejajsheik23! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:26, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I have already edited the content as per the requirements. If you have the time, could you please take another look to see if there are any remaining issues? I conducted extensive research on the brand using search engines, and the information I added is from independent media outlets. Is this additional content appropriate?

Hello Ejajsheik23. 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:Ejajsheik23. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ejajsheik23|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. Theroadislong (talk) 12:54, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have been wrongly accused. If I were indeed a paid editor, why would I seek the assistance of reviewers? Why not simply post and claim my compensation? My intention in seeking experienced editors is solely to find help in improving the content of topics that interest me, in compliance with the platform's requirements. Does actively seeking the assistance of reviewers make me a paid editor? Yes, the reviewer rightly pointed out that I did not follow the AfC process, and I acknowledge this mistake. Consequently, I am now open to going through the AfC process, and I am committed to resolving issues in a positive manner. If my initial communication was poorly worded, I am willing to amend it. If my content was not precise enough, I will revise it. Just as I said, if I had an employer, why would I go to such great lengths to seek your assistance? Would I be "committing suicide" by approaching you?? Ejajsheik23 (talk) 13:05, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
You have not been accused of anything. Theroadislong asked you a question – IMO not unreasonably, given your edit history – which is pretty much standard practice.
As for your rhetorical question of "Why not simply post", to be fair, that's what you first did try to do, by publishing this article directly. It's only after it was moved to the draft space that you are "now open to going through the AfC process".
Moving on to a different point, and still without accusation, let me in turn ask you a question: have you previously edited Wikipedia under a different user account? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:45, 25 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Reviewer, to clarify, I do not have multiple accounts; this is my only account. In my previous responses, what I intended to convey is that if I genuinely wanted to bypass AfC, I wouldn't have sought help in the teahouse and would have simply waited patiently. Why would I go through the trouble of requesting assistance if I were intentionally trying to sneakily publish something? Thank you for your thoroughness.
