Hello Tewesryan. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Marcelo Serrano (soccer coach), and that 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:Tewesryan. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Tewesryan|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, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:00, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

I am an employee of the team that just announced him as head coach. I knew that when the team was announced, he would be listed on the Wikipedia page, so I thought it would a good idea to have information about him available, like other organizations have for their coaches. I was unaware that my contribution would require more than I provided, so I will update my profile. That being said, will this decrease the chance of approval? The sources are varied & accurate.
- In net, the draft's chances can only be helped by making the mandatory disclosures. Reviewers could already tell from the draft and your editing history that you have a conflict of interest. Some may choose not to volunteer their time to help you, but that would have been true anyway. Declaring what your conflict is will earn you points for honesty from other reviewers. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, I honestly didn't consider my entries as a conflict of interest, just adding to the information that people could access. I'm working to figure out how to change my name/update the disclosure and will go from there.
