User talk:Joepomeroy

Welcome!

Hello, Joepomeroy, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Joepomeroy, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Joepomeroy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Joepomeroy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

User page

Sorry, but your user page does not conform to Wikipedia's user page guidelines. It is intended for basic information about yourself, your interests and goals as they relate to editing Wikipedia. Although a lot of freedom is allowed in personalizing your user page, it is not:

an encyclopedia article (and should not be styled to look like one)
a workspace for a draft article
a personal website, blog, or social media site
a space for self-promotion or other advertising
a CV/resumé
a lengthy autobiography

The user page guidelines have additional information on what is and what is not considered acceptable content. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Joepomeroy. 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...I would appreciate your patience. I am new to this format and some tweaking to the style may be necessary, but what I am trying to create is nothing different than other organizations or companies have created for themselves, e.g., Coca-Cola Company. So, I am not writing an article per se but setting up a company page which has several dozen 3rd party citations, published articles about it, links, etc. Maybe I am using the wrong page format? I am going to seek out an experienced Wikipedia writer who can advise what I need to do, what content is okay as is, and what content either has to be rewritten or removed as too promotional. I'd like to have to the end of the year to resolve this as this project is but one that I am working on at the moment. Thank you.

As previously mentioned, you are editing on your userpage. This is not the proper place for this type of editing. A userpage is a personal page meant for a bit of personal detail about you, the individual operating this account. Work intended to become an article should be constructed in the draft article space.

To clear up any confusion, there are no such things as "company pages"; main space pages are referred to as articles here. And with rare exception, companies that have articles about them on Wikipedia did not author them. An important distinction is that an article is about a company, but not the company's article. In other words, the subject of any Wikipedia article - be it a person, company, or organization - has no right of ownership or editorial control over it. Anyone can edit any article at any time, so article content can change substantially over time. Obvious vandalism and inappropriate content can be removed, but content disputes must be discussed civilly on an article's talk page. Unresolved disputes may employ further dispute resolution measures to achieve consensus.

If you are employed by this company, then you must review and comply with Wikipedia's mandatory and non-negotiable paid editing disclosure policy. Please note that you do not need to be paid specifically to write about your employer; merely being an employee of this company is enough to invoke this policy.

Please also be aware that not every company that exists is entitled to have a Wikipedia article. The notability criteria for companies must be met for a company to merit inclusion in Wikipedia. The company must have already acquired a significant amount of in-depth coverage by sources that are both reliable and independent of the company itself. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself; therefore primary and self-published sources cannot establish a company as notable.

Please review these relevant policies and guidelines before writing any more content. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:31, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
