Hello Oumiegarbafox. 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 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:Oumiegarbafox. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Oumiegarbafox|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. As CEO, you are a paid advocate for the Miss Africa America Pageant. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 03:31, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

this is a nonprofit organization not for profit i dont get paid Oumiegarbafox (talk) 04:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Then it is a conflict of interest, not paid editing. The checklist at WP:COIEDIT should help you understand our conflict of interest policy. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:32, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

will make adjustment we are trying to create a Wikipedia for this organization to bring clarity and eliminate any conflict Oumiegarbafox (talk) 06:00, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (October 20)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Notability of organizations

Wikipedia is not a directory, so an organization is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. All topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to merit inclusion. In the specific case of an organization, it must meet the notability criteria for companies and organizations. For this to happen, the organization must have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what an organization wishes to say about itself, as this is an inherent conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
