User talk:Swe jon

Welcome!

Hello, Swe jon, 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 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:

Hi, thanks for the help. I will create a draft in my sandbox and then reach out to you for proofread and review. This account is only used by me (in other words personal) but like I stated at the Teahouse - I do have a Conflict of Interest since I am part of the organization at Eton Shirts. I will just create the draft and then maybe someone from the Wikipedia community can create the actual page? Swe jon (talk) 08:34, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hi again, I have just created a first draft on my talk page. Since I am quite new on Wikipedia I'm struggling a bit with the format for subtitles etc. What I would like to do is to have a small introduction followed by a History chapter and a Today chapter. Would that be a good way of doing it? Thanks for your feedback and help. Swe jon (talk) 10:10, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Helped. Have a look at what I did in your sandbox, and give Wikipedia:Tutorial a read. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Alternatively, you can ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance. Happy editing, Sam Sailor 10:19, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sam, Thanks for the help. I have corrected some of the links due to mistakes made by me and now everything looks correct to me. My question now is what the next step would be? Since I have a COI I would not like to create/publish the actual page. Ideal - if possible - would be if someone of the Wikipedia Community could do it after the text, sources etc have been approved. Or how is the routine for this? Meanwhile I would like to add some historical pictures showing the founders, old factory etc. Is there something I need to consider before doing that? @Sam Sailor: Swe jon (talk) 11:24, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on a sec, the draft is currently at User talk:Swe jon/sandbox, I'll swap it to User:Swe jon/sandbox (technical reasons for that). BRB, Sam Sailor 11:34, 2 April 2019 (UTC) P.S.: Nice correct indentation in your reply above! :)[reply]

Thanks @Sam Sailor: - really appreciate it. I will continue to edit the draft at the new place. One question regarding pictures. Eton, of course, has a lot of pictures from today as well as the history. Is there any problem with me uploading those pictures to Wikipedia? Do I need a written consent from the Company (eg. my employer) or can I just upload them since they are already all over the internet? Swe jon (talk) 12:10, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Start at Wikipedia:Image use policy. One thing is what people do on the Internet: I guess a lot of companies will turn a blind eye to the re-use of a photo that is copyrighted by the company as long as the photo is used in a way that promotes the company's product. But when you upload to Commons, you need to prove that the copyright holder, be it a company or the photographer, are willing to release the image under a free license. Lycka til! Sam Sailor 12:56, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. I have just finished a draft of a Info box for Eton Shirts in my Sandbox. Would you be so kind to take a look and see if it is correct and relevant for a possible future page? If so, is there an easy way to move it to the Eton Shirts draft page? Swe jon (talk) 13:28, 2 April 2019 (UTC) @Sam Sailor:[reply]

Swe jon, made some minor changes, but def. looks good. Consider this: it can be relevant to have red links such as the one to Hans Davidson, if there is reason to believe an article about him is forthcoming. If not, then it is often better, IMHO, to remove the brackets and have his name in black. To me personally, too many red links say "they are not worth writing an article about". Get my drift? But this is just opinion, we don't have a clear rule about this. Sam Sailor 13:40, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Valid point, have changed it now, thanks for the input. Is there a way to move it from my sandbox to the draft page?@Sam Sailor:Swe jon (talk) 14:54, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Sam Sailor:, may I ask you to help me with a thing regarding Eton Shirts here on Wiki. Since I have a COI I don't want to make any changes. The company have, however, just made a CEO-transition and the previous CEO Hans Davidson have left the post for his successor David Thörewik. Would you mind changing the info box so that it is correct? Swe jon (talk) 11:49, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

{{Help me}} Since I have a COI, may I ask with some help with updating the article about Eton Shirts so that the information is up to date? The update concerns the section "Key people" where the text should/could be updated to something like: "Eton's creative director and responsible for design is Sebastian Dollinger.[8] David Thörewik, former managing director at Weekday, one of the independent brands in the H&M group, is the current CEO[9]. He started at Eton in 2019 when he took over after Hans Davidson, grandson to the founders Annie and David Petterson, who led the company as CEO for 30 years between 1989-2019." The info box for the company should also be updated with the right CEO-name. Swe jon (talk) 09:46, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There you go, feel free to submit the draft for review. Sam Sailor 11:41, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I just submitted it for review. Maybe it is easier to add the Info box about the company when/if the page gets approved? @Sam Sailor: Swe jon (talk) 21:07, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest adding it now. Sam Sailor 07:37, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, just did. Swe jon (talk) 07:52, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Eton Shirts

The article Eton Shirts has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet WP:ORGCRIT requirements of in-depth analysis in multiple media. A smattering of routine business transactions and exec transitions does not satisfy.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:27, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Is there anything in particular in the text that I need to clarify or change in order for it not to be deleted? Adding new sources or remove certain text? As I have stated since the start I have a COI so it has been in my interest to get help from the Wiki-community with reviewing the proposed article and publish it. I got great help from Sam Sailor with this. With that said, I of course want to assist if there is anything I can do to help the article from being deleted. @Bri: Swe jon (talk) 12:11, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For now, the article is not subject to active attempts to delete it, as editor Andrew Davidson objected to the proposed uncontroversial deletion. Had Andrew not beat me to it, I would have objected. The next step would be to nominate the article for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion where a discussion then takes place. For now, I think the article is decently sourced. I happen to be born in Scandinavia, and I know the brand and its reputation. Do not expect that e.g. an American knows the brand, there's a quite a problem with systemic bias on Wikipedia. Sam Sailor 06:18, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for your support and thorough answer. I got the tips to add pictures to make it more valid. As you already know I'm, due to my COI, keen to not violate the rules of Wikipedia so I'm not really sure how to proceed with pictures. Should I just upload them to Wiki Commons and then have someone else add them to the article? The pictures I have in mind is historical pictures from the 30's, 40's and 50's so if I have understood the copyright perspective correct they should be ok?
