Hello Abubakarsaeed-IPS. 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 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:Abubakarsaeed-IPS. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Abubakarsaeed-IPS|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) 09:15, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

This article is for my company which we have been working on for the past 7 years. Since, I am a direct beneficiary of IPSpecialist's growth, I am not being compensated for this article. Abubakarsaeed-IPS (talk) 07:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

If you work for the company, that is paid editing, full stop. You do not need to be specfically paid to make edits(otherwise every paid editor would deny being specifically paid to make edits). You absolutely must make the paid editing disclosure. 331dot (talk) 07:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

I placed your text back in draft space, as you clearly have a conflict of interest and are a paid editor, you should not place this draft in the encyclopedia yourself, you need to submit it for a review by a independent editor. If it were to be reviewed right now, it would not be accepted- you only have a single sources, and you need to radically change your approach. I think you misunderstand what it is we do here- Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and what they do. Articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Companies do not merit articles just because they exist. Wikipedia wants to know what others say about a company, not what it says about itself. a 331dot (talk) 09:18, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
