File:J. Peterman Company Logo.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Paid contributions

Hello, may I ask if you are being compensated in any way for your edits to NRG Energy or any other commercial articles? If so, you are required to disclose your status as a paid editor. Please carefully review Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and let me know if you have any questions. --Laser brain (talk) 15:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Laser brain, I apologize for the late response! I was unaware of the necessity of the Paid-contribution disclosure - thank you for sharing it with me. I am a library science student and was recommended to try editing Wikipedia to understand the rules and hone my research skills. My edits on Wikipedia have been both personal and professional, many have been to build my content research skills. I was compensated for my edits on NRG Energy's page and I will place the appropriate template on my user page. I tried to adhere to all of Wikipedia’s rules I was aware of on research, writing, and tone; any feedback on my edits would be greatly appreciated! Does that fully comply with the Paid-contribution disclosure or is there another step I need to take? I read the Paid-contribution disclosure link you sent, but I want to make sure I’m understanding it fully. Thank you for your help, Kelsey246! (talk) 18:27, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the response and disclosure! I didn't review your contributions to NRG Energy in great detail, but the tone seems fine in what I read. One thing to look out for is that companies who engage you to edit on behalf of an organization will often provide details they want included in their articles that an unbiased encyclopedia editor might not add. The heading "Community involvement" raises that type of flag. It's the type of material companies love to include on their web sites and wiki articles because it makes them look good—but you also have to ask critical questions about whether such content is "encyclopedic". --Laser brain (talk) 01:42, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback! I see what you mean about "community involvement." Can you explain what you mean by "encyclopedic" or point me to some Wiki guidelines I can read? I'm trying to understand what is "encyclopedic" information and what is considered irrelevant information in an article. Thanks, Kelsey246! (talk) 13:48, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think Wikipedia:Writing better articles is a good read, especially the "Informational style and tone" heading. Most of what's on that page is going to be elementary to someone with your background, but there are a few good tidbits and examples. I like to think of it as such: What is the company notable for? What is their history and what notable events have happened? Those are "encyclopedic" questions. Some less encyclopedic questions are "What have they done that's good?" and its companion, "What have they done that's bad?" which end up producing sections like "Charity work" or "Controversies" which in my opinion should just be worked into the narrative when they are notable enough that independent journalists wrote about them. Hope this helps! --Laser brain (talk) 18:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Laser brain! That makes complete sense and is exactly what I needed to understand the encyclopedic style. I'll give the "Writing better articles" a read through, as well. Thanks, Kelsey246! (talk) 21:13, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Paid Contributions

Hi @Kelsey246!: Now you have declared your a paid for your work, I suggest you start using Wikipedia:Edit requests to request updates to the article. This is the standard process. scope_creep^Talk 21:32, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Scope creep: I will use the "edit request" template you provided me for any suggestions I have for the NRG Energy page. I have placed a draft through the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process for a different article. I have disclosed my paid editing status for this article (Draft:Trimaco, Inc.) on my user page, in my edit summary and on the draft article's talk page, is there anything else I need to do to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines? Thanks, Kelsey246! (talk) 22:20, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The draft article is an advertisement, a company brochure. It is completely non notable per WP:NCORP, WP:ORGIND, WP:CORPDEPTH. There is no notability criteria defined in the article what-so-ever and is 100% against Wikipedia Terms of Use which explicitly state that advertising is illegal. Company articles should have an historical viewpoint and it is the only way it is done. If the article gets down to WP I intend to send it to Afd. scope_creep^Talk 09:00, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback @Scope creep: I did not intend for the article to read as an advertisement. Do you have any feedback on how the article could be improved? How can I improve the draft so it is valuable as an encyclopedic article to Wikipedia? Thanks,Kelsey246! (talk) 14:41, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
