Welcome!

Hello, Nalytics, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Nalytics/Medline Industries, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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:Nalytics/Medline Industries, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:28, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I get that you don't want advertising material on Wikipedia. I don't either. The article I was working on was not in anyway intended to be advertising. The COI page clearly states, "When someone voluntarily discloses a conflict of interest, other editors should always assume the editor is trying to do the right thing." I have only been an employee of Medline Industries for a couple months and prior to my employment had looked on the Internet for more information about the company. Not able to find much I felt I would help out others similarly looking. Simply being an employee does not automatically make contributions on an article advertising nor meaningless. Rather, I would appreciate feedback to help clear up any content that seems "salesy" or would come across as advertising. Nalytics (talk) 14:21, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because it does not sell to the general public, the company has very limited notability. Follow this advice. See if you can find an established Wikipedia editor who has even heard of the company let alone thinks it notable. You could also try messages at Talk:Mundelein, Illinois and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Illinois. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
