Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jonathanericchester. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Bitwage, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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 COI 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. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:16, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas.

Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here.

Re Bitwage

I received your message regarding Bitwage on my talk page. I wasn't really involved with that page at all, so I think the first step would be to contact the administrator who deleted the page - User:DGG. If he is unavailable or you have other questions, feel free to contact me again.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:04, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

advice

There are the following problems:

The article is addressed to "you"
Overpersonal account of the founding of the company
Referring to people by the first names alone
Repeated use of straight advertising language, eg "... makes international payroll payments faster, cheaper and easier" "in under 24 hours" "helps employees, freelancers and contractors receive their wages all over the world, "
Inclusion of practical details about how to use the service--this belongs on the firm's own web page only.
Inclusion of routine features as if they were something special.

In addition, there are major problems with the referencing:

Using references that merely mention the company as if they had substantial material. Every reference from something that could be seen as a major reliable source is of this nature,
Using references that are straight PR sites, or based on PR, or are mere announcements.

The only likely way of getting an article on Wikipedia is that the company might become so notable that there will be truly substantial, independent and non-promotional sources, and for someone unconnected with the company to want to write about it. DGG ( talk ) 19:40, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
