March 2024[edit]

Hello Ricardo.andrade88. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Serviceaide, 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 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:Ricardo.andrade88. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ricardo.andrade88|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. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 21:02, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Curb,

I have not been paid directly or indirectly to create the article for Serviceaide. I simply attempted to research the company, and as I couldn't find information, I felt inclined to create this content and learn more about editing/adding content on Wikipedia.

Although I haven't been paid to do this, I am an employee of the company. That's why I inserted the Paid tag within the page I created, as you can verify here: Draft talk:Serviceaide - Wikipedia. Ricardo.andrade88 (talk) 14:52, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Curb Safe Charmer @Curb Safe Charmer:,

I hope you had the chance to review my last reply. Did you encounter any issues with approving my article? As I mentioned before, I declared the COI on this article version: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Serviceaide&oldid=1214879562. I work for Serviceaide as a Technical Solution Architect, but I wasn't paid to create this Wikipedia page.

Additionally, I've been working on some pages to localize content between Portuguese and English languages (themes include Volleyball and table games) to improve my English skills. I hope you haven't encountered any problems with that. Ricardo.andrade88 (talk) 12:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Serviceaide (April 17)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Serviceaide and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
