Hello Amang0699. 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:Amang0699. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Amang0699|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) 13:02, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @331dot, Thanks for your response. I am one of the directors in Skynetiks. I am not being paid by anyone nor do I intend to advertise about the services. But after reading your message I think I will fall under the category of paid user as I do have a stake in Skynetiks. I just want a page for my company to exist on wikipedia. I will change the tone of the information written and include the paid template as suggested. Amang0699 (talk) 07:07, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you are a paid editor and must make the disclosure as described on your user page.
Wikipedia is not a database of everything that exists- not every company merits an article here. Wikipedia is not a place for a company to tell about itself and its offerings. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize 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 of a notable company. Our articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic, and who write based on independent sources, not sources associated with the company(like its website, interviews, press releases, the reporting of routine activities). 331dot (talk) 07:55, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
