Hello, Rsachde2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Saddle River, New Jersey, which 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 another 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 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I understand your concerns and agree with your notion and will make amemnds and be very careful going forward. Although the information of me accepting the award with my mayor was true but I will remove my name henceforth. But I have one question... The mention of Saddle River Inn being awarded Top 100 Romantic Restaurant in the United states by Forbes is a true fact. Does listing that a problem?
I have no vested interest whatsover with that restaurant but its a true fact and differntiates the town by its presence, Let me know what you think,
Best Regards

Sometimes it's less about the content and more about the way things are written -- see MOS:PUFFERY. Still, I don't believe listing that is appropriate for an article about the town that the restaurant is in. If the restaurant was notable enough for its own article (which I doubt), it might be appropriate to mention it there, but not in the town's article. :Jay8g [V•T•E] 20:41, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Puffery and conflict of interest

[edit]

As you described above, you would appear to have a conflict of interest in editing this article and need to be cautious, even in the best of circumstances, about the material that's added. Whether it's in an article for Saddle River or Haddon Heights, it's a problem when you're adding promotional material largely copied and pasted from Niche, which is not a very strong source. The details of the pedestrian bridge project are extremely minor in the scheme of an article about the borough, as are pictures about the award. Details regarding the low tax rate were kept in the article and shifted down into a section about housing. Going forward, please review policy about conflicts and understand that there is no place for MOS:PUFFERY in articles, especially where you have such a close connection.

This bridge is a big news for a small town of Saddle River that costed $1.5 million and was mainly funded by the County grants and Private donations to enable about 12 acres of deadlocked and unsuable land to be merged with the parkland for the good of the town residents and doubling their park space. In addition, this covered bridge which is highly popular in New England States like Vermont is the first covered bridge in New Jersey's 100 years history. The bridge is planned to be inaaugarted by the Governor soon. Moreover while the bridge is not finished, the reputable Civil Engineering Association awarded the bridge as a Project of the year. So its big news for a small town of Saddle River and will be used for years to come. Best, Ravi Rsachde2 (talk) 16:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We can head out on Route 80 to Green Sergeant's Covered Bridge in Stockton, New Jersey or head down the New Jersey Turnpike to see Scarborough Bridge in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. There are other covered bridges in the state. There are thousands of projects of this magnitude and cost across the county and state that don't merit inclusion in an encyclopedic article. And the issue of puffery and conflict of interest still haven't been addressed. Maybe a brief mention in a parks and recreation section is appropriate. I'll shift the bridge details, which don't belong in the lead section, and remove the duplicated details re property taxes, which appear later in the article. Again, please read WP:COI and understand this fundamental policy before making further edits. Alansohn (talk) 17:08, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the update, I am making the changes to the statement about first covered bridge in New Jersey for hundred years because per your information, Cherry Hill Covered bridge was made in 1959. Whereas ASCE engineers stated for 100 years there has been no covered bridge created in New Jersey!
