Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Benstutzman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:23, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Benstutzman. Thank you for disclosing your payment but that is not the only step. Please use WP:Edit requests as I discussed on my talk page. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:26, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Intelliquip, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Benstutzman. 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 compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, 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:Benstutzman. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Benstutzman|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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hickory,

You have changed my mind I've added new content to our page with citations and a neutral tone/message. I am trying to find the Talk Page for Intelliquip, but am pretty new to Wikipedia and having trouble. I'm also trying to add my correct template to my page, disclosing that I do work for Intelliquip, but truly I don't think the page will get updated if I don't do it. I have also refrained from citing our own website, looking to be as neutral as I can be. Can you advise what other templates I need to complete. Thank you.

Hi Benstutzman. I am not sure what you mean by "changed your mind." Were you not going to update the page before? The talk page can be found at Talk:Intelliquip. Thank you for using non company affiliated sources but some of the content you added was still promotional and unsourced with inline citations. Please use WP:Edit requests instead of directly editing pages. As well, it isn't Wikipedia's job to help you promote your company, that's what your website is for. This isn't Wikipedia's purpose. I truly believe someone will eventually notice the page and that some of the content you are adding is not that necessary anyways. If you are still confused with Wikipedia I recommend checking out our help desk for new editors but I strongly recommend telling your boss that this isn't Wikipedia's purpose and is vehemently looked down on. You know, an An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

April 2019

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Intelliquip, from its old location at User:Benstutzman/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 23:21, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I accidentally moved the page, as I didn't realize Intelliquip already existed on an article in the mainspace. I've rejected your draft for now, and please don't submit articles to AfC if they exist in the mainspace - AfC exists only for new subjects. Please contribute directly to the mainspace article instead. Thanks. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 23:24, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Intelliquip concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Intelliquip, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:36, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Intelliquip

The article Intelliquip has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails the notability guideline for companies.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Teratix ₵ 06:38, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
