Hello, I'm Finngall. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Barnes Group have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Replacing the lead of an encyclopedia article with the company's own mission statement is unacceptable under any cirtcumstances. --Finngall ^talk 16:29, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Chrissyd0425. 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely 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:Chrissyd0425. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Chrissyd0425|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) 16:50, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Barnes Group. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Your edit is only cosmetic

You might have change "we," but you've still written a promotional brochure. Wikipedia does not allow those. Wikipedia has articles about companies--articles written by people who are not connected with the company, and based on sources not affiliated with the company. They are not under the control of the company--in fact the company might not even like it. Uporządnicki (talk) 16:40, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
