Hello Mohammad Agah. 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 mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. 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:Mohammad Agah. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mohammad Agah|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. 331dot (talk) 09:34, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Dear editorial board, I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for any of my edits on Wikipedia. I have no employer, client, or financial affiliation related to the topics I edit. My contributions are made voluntarily and in good faith. If any of my edits gave a different impression, that was unintentional. Please let me know if further clarification is required. Best Regards, Mohammad Agah

We have no editorial board here. You wrote that you are writing about your company. If you own or are employed by the company you wrote about, you are considered a paid editor because you receive a salary. You are required by the Terms of Use to make the paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 10:49, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
okay, what are the parts that should be edited ? Mohammad Agah (talk) 11:03, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
should I pay or delete some parts ? Mohammad Agah (talk) 11:05, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
Right now I'm not referring to your draft, but to the paid editing policy that you must comply with. 331dot (talk) 11:11, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
I read it and got the point, now I want to disclose details of employer and employee, should I write it in the article page or somewhere else ? Mohammad Agah (talk) 11:15, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
Oh, you should write it on your user page, User:Mohammad Agha. 331dot (talk) 11:18, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
I am facing this error
This edit has been prevented because you attempted to edit a user page other than the one associated with your account.

Oops, your user page is actually at User:Mohammad Agah. You also should have a direct link at the top of this page possibly in a menu. 331dot (talk) 11:34, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Done, could you please now check ? Mohammad Agah (talk) 11:36, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
If everything is okay, would it be published ? Mohammad Agah (talk) 12:05, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
I have placed your draft at Draft:Oskar Group; draft space is the preferred location for submissions. Using the Article Wizard to create a draft places it in draft space.
You have made a fundamental, if common, error in that case you are telling us what you want the world to know about your company. A Wikipedia article about a company summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself, only in what others wholly unconnected with a company say about it. "Significant coverage" goes beyond mere documentation of the offerings of the company or its routine business activities and gives critical analysis and commentary as to what is viewed as important/significant/influential about the company, not what it sees as important about itself. The vast majority of companies on Earth do not merit Wikipedia articles.
Please read WP:BOSS, and show it to your superiors and colleagues. 331dot (talk) 13:22, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
Most company representatives fail in attempts to write about their company, because they are too close to it to be able to set aside what they know about their company. Are you one of the rate people who can do this successfully? Possibly, but the odds are against it. 331dot (talk) 13:23, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
thank you, so when it gets published ? Mohammad Agah (talk) 16:36, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
You need to click the "Submit your draft for review!" button on the draft to formally submit it for a review, but if you were to do so now, it would be declined quickly, as you have not done what I said above. 331dot (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
