User talk:Sylvia Rosin

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was WalkMe, 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, 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).

Hi GermanJoe,

Thanks for your message. How can I edit the update I made to the WalkMe page that adheres to Wikipedia's guidelines and standards? I am happy to change some of what I wrote.

Wikipedia is not an advertising platform. Of the content you added, I can see about two sentences that might be suitable, the rest was promotional claptrap of the worst kind, and GermanJoe was absolutely correct to remove it. I would also add that if you are an employee of WalkMe, as would appear to be the case from your edits, then you are violating Wikipedia's Term of Use by your failure to disclose this, and unless you take steps to abide be the requirements here you will be blocked from editing altogether.

Hello Sylvia Rosin, agree with Yunshui. I'll add a few details, but most of this guidance is better explained in Wikipedia's core content guidelines: assuming you have a conflict of interest you should stick to edit requests on the article's talkpage Talk:WalkMe to suggest short neutral corrections based on reliable independent sources. I don't mean to sound rude, but trying to improve upon your reverted edit would not be productive - that content is simply not useable or salvageable in this form. As an encyclopedic project, Wikipedia is not interested in the company's self-description, indiscriminate product lists, business annoucements about the umpteenth funding, or news about the latest branche-internal PR award. This is all information, that a company circulates to promote itself and belongs on the company website or in trade magazines, but not on Wikipedia. A Wikipedia article should only provide an uninvolved and succinct encyclopedic overview of the most relevant facts. You should carefully read through guidance like WP:COI, WP:NPOV and WP:RS before making any further edits or edit requests. Hope that helps a bit. Best regards.

Hi GermanJoe,

I took your advice and requested an edit on the WalkMe Talk Page, and disclosed that I have a potential conflict of interest (although I'm not an official employee of the company). My main goal with the edits is to update the page with more recent information. The current page contains outdated information. I sincerely appreciate your feedback and I respect the integrity of Wikipedia as an encyclopedic source of information. I think my requested edits align with Wikipedia pages for other companies. You will see it is significantly pared down and not promotional.

Deletion discussion about Digital Adoption Platform

Hello, Sylvia Rosin,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Digital Adoption Platform should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Adoption Platform .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,
