Conflict of interest and promotional editing

Hello, Michael.Englefield. 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. Melcous (talk) 23:28, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael, thanks for your message on my talk page and thanks for reading through the COI policies and taking this issue seriously an understanding the issues involved. Yes, you have definitely done the right thing in disclosing your conflict, although you might consider using the {{paid}} templates to do so more formally - see here - on both your user page and your draft's talk page. Also thanks for using the draft process as this will allow a neutral editor to review your contributions. Personally, I'd also encourage you to consider initially editing some wikipedia articles that have nothing to do with your work - it can be really helpful just to get a feel for how wikipedia works, but that's up to you. Happy editing. Melcous (talk) 23:11, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Melcous,

I appreciate your speedy reply. All advice is welcome. I will certainly look into the {{paid}} tag on my user page and on my draft's talk page.

I am very happy for my page to be edited once I decide it's ready to go live (there are some tweaks I'd still like to do yet). I would never just go straight for live and hope for the best in an area such as this, as my company is very important to me.

Although I understand this doesn't make me an expert (far from it), I've actually been editing WIkipedia on and off for some time now in my spare time with a separate account. Admittedly these haven't been huge revisions, but it's helped me get some idea of the way things work. I've also fallen into many a late night Wikihole, so I'm certainly well versed in the type of content that will and won't fly! I am yet to do it in a professional capacity, which is why I thought it best to separate that with a new account.

Thank you for being so helpful and weloming.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Drewberry Ltd (February 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Sourced by clear published or republished company announcements, mentions, press releases or similar, none of it automatically inherits notability and our main policy is WP:What Wikipedia is not. Overall, this is formatted as something they would advertise to clients and, instead, not what we as an encyclopedia would publish. The awards, for example, are simply trade-focused and they're not significant for articles. I will also note that our policy linked above says companies must be established, not simply a few-years starter, because then it's simply too soon. Funding or financial announcements are also a sign of being too soon since it's not established. For example, I examined the ones that seemed the best, but they too were only mere announcments.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Drewberry Ltd and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
