- (following over from the Teahouse) - This account isn't blocked. User:SkyX Systems was recently blocked by Jimfbleak, though. I can't find evidence of a draft anywhere (was it deleted?). 199.208.172.35 (talk) 15:22, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- 199.208.172.35, thanks. I deleted Draft:SkyX as a poorly sourced promo, I'll post guidance here shortly Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:27, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Guidance
[edit]Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. Because you work for the company, you are classed as paid editor, and you should replace the COI template on your user page with {{paid|user=Arthur at SkyX|employer=SkyX}} and save
You must follow the guidance below:
- you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
- Much of your text was unsourced. Your few sources were an article written by the founder, press releases and interviews or quotes from the company, not independent third-party sources.
- The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
- significant coverage in
- independent,
- multiple,
- reliable,
- secondary sources.
- Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.
- It's difficult to show notability when your text doesn't mention any staff, turnover, profits, funding or headquarters
- You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
- Don't use ©, it's not our job to protect your copyright, and don't bold your products. Your text had unsourced or self-sourced claims like uses drones as the most efficient means... is aiming to provide high-resolution, long-range aerial data to organizations and governments to provide asset integrity... SkyOne was the first drone with VTOL... to ensure the best quality of each photo... create valuable insights on the asset integrity. It's basically an unsourced sales pitch for your products, free of any real facts about the company, rather than an encyclopaedia article
- There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
- You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
Because you have declared your COI, I have cut you a bit of slack, but you need to take your time before reposting here, and make sure you get it right.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:45, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- I put the Paid declaration on your User page. If you decide to not attempt an article about SkyX, but intend to continue as a Wikipedia editor on other articles, OK to remove the declaration. David notMD (talk) 21:30, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
