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 [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements]]. Paid advocacy is a category of [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|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 [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] and what [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|Wikipedia is not]], and is an especially serious type of COI; the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to [[Spamdexing|black-hat search-engine optimization]]. - -Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the [[Help:Talk pages|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 [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|articles for creation]] process, rather than directly. - -Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are '''<u>required</u> by the [[wmf:TOU#paid-contrib-disclosure|Wikimedia Terms of Use]] to disclose your employer, client and affiliation.''' You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at [[User:AkashLakhotia]]. The template {{tl|Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{tlc|paid|2=user=AkashLakhotia|3=employer=<var>InsertName</var>|4=client=<var>InsertName</var>}}. 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. <!-- Template:Uw-paid1 --> ''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 08:41, 29 January 2023 (UTC) - -:Hi ''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]],'' I am really sorry that you felt that I was getting paid. I had just copied what Kosmoderma had written on their website and I was to edit the whole thing but I couldn't find any more content about them and so I had left it in the draft. I am new here and so I did not know that even drafts get checked. -:I just am really excited to publish an article about a topic of my choosing and so I thought that the companies which I know are doing good, I can write about them. -:I am in no away related or getting paid for the content I am editing or writing. -:Also if you can guide me about a topic for an article, that would be awesome. [[User:AkashLakhotia|AkashLakhotia]] ([[User talk:AkashLakhotia#top|talk]]) 10:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC) - -::Thank you. It is pretty unusual for a new editor to start creating new drafts about various obscure companies in a promotional tone unless they are hired to create them, hence my question. My advice would be for you to forget about creating new articles, and instead edit existing articles in Wikipedia – it is very difficult to create a new article because there are so many policies and guidelines involved, and it can be a very frustrating process. When you have edited Wikipedia for some months, you will almost certainly find it much easier to understand what kind of sources are needed, how to write in a neutral tone, and which topics are (and are not) notable. -::Whether you are creating a new draft or editing an existing article, you should never copy text from an external website (or any other source) into Wikipedia. If you copy text from, say, a company website, the company owns the copyright to the text and copying it here is a violation of their copyright. In addition, such text is almost never appropriate for an encyclopedia.

You have proven it right. -:::I will keep editing articles until I have more experience. -:::Also about coping from other sites, I had done that so that I have a base and references to write and don't have to change between tabs.
