Hello MichaelSjöstrand. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Danphone, 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:MichaelSjöstrand. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MichaelSjöstrand|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. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 02:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello Rich_Smith, I will start by saying, I am not quite sure if this is the right format to answer you message, I am still very new to Wikipedia and it is outright a hard learning curve with how references, citations, links and all that worked. Not mentioning I made the mistake to upload it on the Danish Wikipedia in the beginning. Put I will take your input, and try to learn some more. With that said - I am sorry for the inconvenience of this article, I am currently in school at IBA (International Business Academy) in Denmark, and are writing a school project about a company, where my task is about learning a company. I am not paid by Danphone, but simply an intern while I write my school Project, so I can learn stuff directly from the people working at the company. Thank you for you constructive message, and for your time explaining my mistakes. - Michael
