User talk:Rcampbel3

Welcome!

Hello, Rcampbel3, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Hi, thanks. I did create page in my personal space and worked up the content and links there prior to creating a public page. I've been a long time user of wikipedia, but never a contributor. I've re-read the links provided. I have attempted to provide factual information in line with other company pages in the Electronic Health Record software category - I used a number of them as a starting template for my page.

What exactly should be changed on the page to remove the warnings? I've tried to be as objective as possible... again looking at similar company wikipedia pages.

Thanks! Rcampbel3 (talk) 00:12, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A far as maintaining a neutral point of view, I'd say you're doing relatively well--trust me, the admins delete a lot of self-promotional crap from editors with conflicts of interest similar to yours (I assume you're Ross Campbell, VP of Operations). But as to the issues I've raised:

All of the material in Vetter Software appears to be referenced from the company's own material--a properly sourced article here should mostly derive from secondary or tertiary reliable sources with no connection to the company.
If few or no such sources exist, then the company likely does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards for companies, i.e. the bar that has been set for whether a company is important enough to merit an article in a general-purpose encyclopedia. If the notability standard isn't met, then the article could be proposed for deletion.

Feel free to keep working on it yourself, be willing to take advice from others (I'm no admin--I've been around a while, but I have no more privileges than you), and check out the various policy links above if you haven't already. Thanks, and have a good day. --Finngall ^talk 00:48, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with what Finngall said. The tone actually is much better than what usually happens if employees of a company write an article, but the lack of third-party sources is a severe issue - especially since the amount of third-party coverage is how Wikipedia measures notability, but also because your press releases likely are biased in your favor. On an unrelated note, the first sentence seems wrong: "Vetter Software is [...] operated and privately owned by Vetter Software, Inc." Really? "Vetter Software" and "Vetter Software Inc." are distinct legal entities, with the latter owning the former? Huon (talk) 15:23, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Vetter Software

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 Vetter Software, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
