Hello, NYStrat!
Having an article 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! Sulfurboy (talk) 21:31, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello NYStrat. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Smart Design, 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.
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, and if it does not, 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:NYStrat. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=NYStrat|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. I noticed you attempted to declare a WP:COI, but you should have instead declared for paid editing since you are an employee of the company. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:33, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Sulfurboy. Thanks for the feedback. I am not being paid for these edits, but I am an employee, so I will change the COI to be a paid declaration instead. Please let me know if I'm now good to make that and the other recommended changes. Thanks. NYStrat (talk) 01:03, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- NYStrat, Yeah you're good now. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:08, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
