Cecil Instruments

[edit]

It appears that essentially all of the text in the Cecil Instruments article is taken directly from the company's own website. Whether you can obtain permission for the text to be used on Wikipedia or not, we need more independent information on the company than what their own website will supply. Can you find some articles about the company in the trade literature - preferably stuff not written by (or at least not credited to) someone from Cecil? or an independent review of their products? mentions in the scientific literature about the special use of their gear? Without references to such reliable sources, the article is practically asking to be deleted. -- Jaeger5432 | Talk 14:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pointless

Please read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:45, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The words read this here and above are a link. Please follow that link and read my message. What is the point of uploading the image with exactly the same tag? Incidentally, fair use is inappropriate because a free alternative could easily be found. But why must Cecil Instruments be so mean/stingy/parsimonious? Why cannot they release the image under the GFDL/CC? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:37, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cecil Instruments Limited

[edit]

Hi Khanom. As promised at the Teahouse, here are my initial comments on your proposed article. First of all you need to make your submission more like a Wikipedia article. You need to put the info on what or who Cecil Instruments Limited is at the beginning of the article in what Wikipedians call a lead section. Once you have done that you will also need to "Wikify" the references, you can find out more information about the topic here. That should be enough to be getting on with, when you have further questions leave a message on my talk page (to do that click on the "Talk" after my user name) and I will answer as quickly as I can. Finally, don't be disheartened, Wikipedia can be intimidating at first because there seem to be a bewildering number of rules and guidelines. Once you get to know your way around you'll find things much easier. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ talk 15:56, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I too saw your question at Teahouse where I am a part time host. I wanted to possibly clarify a concept for you. What decides whether or not a given subject gets an article on Wikipedia is something we call notability. It has only a loose relationship with what is important or famous. Simply put, what is required for notability is that the subject be discussed in reliable, independent, secondary sources in detail. We only talk about subjects that others have made note of (hence the term, notability). For some types of subjects, there are more specific requirements, and companies are one. The notability standard for companies is found at WP:NCORP. Besides the independent, reliable secondary sourcing that is generally required, it also requires that the sources be geographically diverse. In other words, it has to be discussed in publications of nation-wide distribution or in local publications in several separate areas. Looking specifically at your sources, it is hard to tell what kind of sources they are. We need more complete information about them in order to determine notability. That is not hard to do. I will leave some simple instructions on how to access citation templates and if you use those, filled out as completely as possible, the information will be there. Your citations should also be converted over to the inline style which the instructions that follow will describe how to do. Most of your citations appear to be to academic writings, and therein lies a problem. Articles published in reviewed, respected journals are fine to use as references as they are secondary, independent and reliable. Papers are not, as they are primary and not necessarily fact checked. Good luck and if you need further help, don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. Happy editing! John from Idegon (talk) 17:47, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Adding references can be easy

[edit]
Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
  2. Then click on "Templates".
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
  4. Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
  5. Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
  6. Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
  • Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header   ==References==   is near the end of the article.
  • And check that   {{Reflist}}    is directly underneath that header.
7.  Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --John from Idegon (talk) 17:48, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Khanom. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 15:06, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
