Hello Jordanhughes13. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Orgill, 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 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. 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:Jordanhughes13. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jordanhughes13|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. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:02, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Orgill (company)

edit

On 4 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Orgill (company), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Orgill, Inc., now the world's largest independently owned distributor of hardlines, began as a hardware store in 1847, making it the oldest Memphis-founded company still in operation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Orgill (company). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Orgill (company)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
