Information icon Hello, BCRSPWiki. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 19:43, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Avoiding copy-paste moves

[edit]

Once an article exists, yes, you can delete the Draft version, but ideally there should never be both a "draft" and a "final" at the same time, because the draft should be moved to the final space. Did you create the published version by just copy-pasting the text from this page onto a fresh page? If so, please avoid doing that in the future, instead if you want to publish a draft, just use the "Move" tool (in the menus at the top of your page, to the right of the "Edit" button) to move it to articlespace. When you just copy-paste whole pages on Wikipedia, we lost the whole Page History of how/when the edits were made, so as a general rule use Move tools to relocate pages rather than copy-paste. If you did a cut-paste move, please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves to rectify this so we can save the History data. And in the future, just remind yourself "never copy/paste a whole page" ;) . Nice work, and wiki-coding is a learning process, so just stay chill and enjoy the learning.

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

It's looking better, but I still don't see the coverage of the idea in independent sources. And some of the information appears unsourced. It would also help to link concepts such as ISO 9001 (like this: [[ISO 9001]]) so we know what that means.

As for requirements, that is okay, but that simple list of steps that a person would go through doesn't seem appropriate.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 13:26, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would definitely say change it to a draft.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You keep starting new topics in The Teahouse. If you could use the one linked abovebelow (EC) for all your future questions it would make it easier for all of us because not everyone realizes answers to the same questions are divided up among four topics now.
You asked about the squares. I don't know why I objected to them, but I've never seen them done in the lead. The problem there, of course is that there is no list. Does that make sense? When there is a list, starting each line with a square makes sense.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:34, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I still would recommend newspapers or magazines, but the article may be good enough not to delete. Others should probably look. Some history and other information would be useful.
As for how to get to the Teahouse, just click on the link provided here on your talk page, where it says "Teahouse talkback".— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 15:05, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
