While I am an experienced Wikipedia editor, I have a WP:COI as a paid consultant to Toptal. I always do my best to abide by the WP: Five Pillars, but if you think I fall short, please let me know.

An article on this topic existed before. This draft, submitted to AfC, is entirely new and has multiple new sources establishing notability.BC1278 (talk) 21:35, 2 July 2018 (UTC)BC1278Reply

A vertical

Latest comment: 9 days ago3 comments3 people in discussion

This sounds like business jargon to me, that could easily be avoided. (Had to look up the meaning for this use.) BSpringborn (talk) 19:18, 12 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

I know what a vertical is (you're broadly right that it's business jargon for an industry. I'd argue that it's mis-used in this article, a vertical isn't a part of an organisation, it's a group of organisations. And then it's redundant in any sentence I can construct that mentions the automotive industry (or blockchain). 81.79.70.5 (talk) 14:11, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

I made some updates and based them off online articles that were full of business jargon. I agree that all such jargon needs to be trimmed. ArvresDeSoqotra (talk) 18:46, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Connection disclosure

I used to work as a freelancer on Toptal.com. I am not a regular employee at Toptal and am not paid directly by Toptal.

Earlier this year, I made some edits to Toptal's article. IrisChronomia reverted them and asked me to clarify my connection before proceeding any further. After clarifying that I was a former freelancer but not an employee, and do not have any intention to promote Toptal, IrisChronomia said that I can go ahead and edit this mainspace article again, but that I should not inadvertently insert any marketing speak or LLM-generated promotional content. This issue has been thoroughly discussed on my talk page. ArvresDeSoqotra (talk) 18:43, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
