[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia! Please be aware that Wikipedia has certain key content policies, as well as a style manual, that all articles must follow. There are a lot of issues with Naval Supply Systems Command in this regard, but these are two of the most significant:
1. Neutral point of view: Wikipedia doesn't praise its subjects; it maintains a fully neutral point of view. "The NAVSUP Enterprise is uniquely positioned to provide support to customers around the world" is an example of language that is not neutral, but promotional and inappropriate for an encyclopedia. "Promotional" doesn't just mean "trying to sell something"; obviously the Navy isn't trying to bring in new customers (the notion that the Navy actually has "customers" seems incorrect and I suspect that calling Navy units "customers" is a bit of in-house jargon that reinforces why Wikipedia strongly discourages editing by people who actually work for an organization of that organization's article--it is very difficult to get out of the in-house vocabulary that is frequently baffling and artificial to the general public). But this language is clearly written to make the NAVSUP Enterprise look terrific, and that's not the job of an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia provides information, not a public-relations spiel. (Please try to eliminate as much military jargon and acronym usage as possible, by the way; most of Wikipedia's readers won't understand it, and the sea of capital letters is difficult to read.)
In this vein, I urge you to cut out the entire section of "NAVSUP guiding principles" (that's the correct capitalization in section headings, by the way; please look at an assortment of Wikipedia articles to see what I mean about not capitalizing every word). It's nothing but feel-good promotional language that communicates no encyclopedic information. Wikipedia has no interest in serving as a platform for what any group has to say about itself. Wikipedia is only interested in reporting on what other reliable sources have said about that group. Mission statements aren't encyclopedic or of any interest to the general public, and they should be kept on the unit's own website, not brought here.
2. Wikipedia's voice: Articles should never use the first person, because the encyclopedia is written in Wikipedia's voice, not the Naval Supply Systems Command's voice. Please eliminate all the "we" sentence constructions.
There are a lot of rules and conventions associated with writing for Wikipedia and I'm sure it's overwhelming to be barraged with them, but these are some critical points that you should internalize and act on as early as possible. Despite what many seem to believe, Wikipedia isn't a webhost; content contributed here must conform to Wikipedia's guidelines. If you have any questions, I suggest that you ask the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE, who have quite a lot of experience in guiding new contributors and answering technical questions, and do so rather promptly.

Well, yes, this is a promotional COI account
[edit]And given your persistence, I've requested this account be blocked, and edits be reverted again. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 12:28, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
Promotional editing, apparent WP:Conflict of interest
[edit]A complaint about you has been posted on my talk page at User talk:EdJohnston#Naval Supply Systems Command. Wikipedia is not for publicity and it is not a directory. If you are affiliated with the subject of an article you should not be posting on it directly, but should propose any edits on the article talk page. I am considering a block of your account, but you can respond at User talk:EdJohnston if you disagree. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:57, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Naval Supply Systems Command. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:58, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
