Paid editing?

Hello Paulzeroes. 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 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 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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:Paulzeroes. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Paulzeroes|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. Theroadislong (talk) 21:14, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

It is true. I receive money from the company ZeroBounce which I was attempting to write an article about.

Please do as recommended above and place the {{Paid}} template, as instructed, on your talk page, in place of the sentence you have written there, prior to editing any articles. Thanks--Quisqualis (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

My goal if I go forward is to be as objective as possible and report only the facts. May I ask, human to human, if I write this article do you believe it has a chance?

I looked at a few pages of Google results for the company. There was almost nothing to be found that was a reliable source. Social media, PR, competitors...It doesn't seem that the company has been written about much in reliable sources. In fact, Wikipedia only has one article on Email authentication, and it's very technical. I believe that an article about ZeroBounce, or, most likely, about most other firms in that line of business, would not be possible, given the lack of sources to demonstrate notabililty. That's my honest estimation.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:29, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the feedback. I appreciate it a lot. ZeroBounce was named #40 on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing companies in America.

Here are a few of the sources I was planning to use: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/311153

See how the colons indent each post? You can sign and timestamp with a simple ~~~~ (4 tildes).

I'm about to turn in for the night. Will check yr sources out tomorrow.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:24, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

December 2020: Adding links to your own work is considered to be spamming

When a Wikipedia editor uses media which they control (THE PAUL LESLIE HOUR) to source their edits, it qualifies as "linkspam"
Hello, I'm Quisqualis. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. --Quisqualis (talk) 02:16, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
