Hi @AngusWOOF, I have added some more references. ScreenRec has been covered on reputable sites like Ghacks [1], Digital Trends [2] Yahoo! and Ionos [3]. It is often named as one of the top and widely used screencasting software alongside OBS Studio, Bandicam,[4] ScreenFlow, Camtasia [5] ShareX, Debut Video Capture and CamStudio. [6] Therefore it is as notable as these software which have similar references and have their own Wikipedia articles already. Regards, Turbospeedman 22 January 2021

Hello Turbospeedman. 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:Turbospeedman. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Turbospeedman|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. GSS ^💬 07:52, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

@GSS Hello GSS, I am not getting paid for writing this article, however I do work for the company that developed the software i.e., TeddySoft Ltd. I have made the 'conflict of interest' declaration on my user page article as per your advice. TeddySoft had hired a freelancer to publish an article for the software in Feb, 2020, but it got deleted soon after. At that time, the person who hired the freelancer was unaware of the policy that says hiring someone else to publish your article is disallowed. I sincerely apologize for this on their behalf. Now that ScreenRec has more media coverage, I decided to give it another shot myself. I have read the relevant policies and used the 'article for creation' option to submit this article. As per my understanding of the said policies, a person having a 'conflict of interest' is allowed to use this option (Please correct me if I am wrong). I would like to work on this according to Wikipedia's rules. I truly believe that ScreenRec is more notable than most of the software listed on this article: Comparison of screencasting software. Let me know if you need any further information regarding this. Regards, Turbospeedman 14 January 2021

It doesn't matter if you were specifically instructed to write it by your superiors, or if you are writing it from your own initiative. You are writing an article about your employer and therefore representing their interests, whether intentionally or not. Therefore, a general conflict of interest declaration isn't enough; a mandatory paid editing declaration is required. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:36, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Drm310. I understand that and have made the paid editing declaration. Let me know if I have done it correctly. Regards, Turbospeedman 19 January 2021

Yes, you did that correctly. Thank you for making the declaration. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:41, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
