Hello Txbois. 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:Txbois. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Txbois|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. MrOllie (talk) 22:03, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

User:MrOllie thank you for the guidance. This isn't my responsiblity at Sectigo so I'm not as familiar with wikipedia process but have long wanted to get involved in the project and would like to see my company listed here.

You recommend that I propose the change on the talk page to remove the Sectigo redirect to Xcitium] and then the community will review or will this discussion suffice and open the conversation. Txbois (talk) 22:33, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

One of your coworkers has already started a draft on your company. Unless and until that draft is approved, don't worry about the redirect. MrOllie (talk) 23:43, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
