18:10:50, 21 December 2022 review of submission by Aditisat99[edit]
- Aditisat99 (talk · contribs)
I edited my article to make it sound less advertising. I would like help to confirm that what I have written now aligns with Wikipedia's policies.

- Still nothing but blatant advertising and was rejected so will not be considered further, I suggest you find another topic. Theroadislong (talk) 20:18, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Aditisat99 I see that you declared a paid editing relationship. I take this to mean you are employed by the organization. Unfortunately, they have given you an impossible task, likely due to a misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is for. It is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves and what they do, and where existence merits inclusion. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, called "notability"- such as the definition of a notable organization. Articles here must summarize primarily what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about the topic, demonstrating how it is notable as defined by Wikipedia. Not every organization merits a Wikipedia article, even within the same field. It depends on the sources, which cannot be press releases, announcements of routine activities, brief mentions, interviews, or other primary sources. We want to know what others say about the organization, not what it says about itself. Feel free to show this message to your superiors.
- Also be aware that any article about your organization does not belong to the organization, nor can the organization exclusively dictate what appears there. Any information about the organization, good or bad, can be in an article about it as long as it appears in an independent reliable source. Please see this page for more information about the good reasons to not want an article. 331dot (talk) 00:54, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
