Potential conflict of interest

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:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
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. Canonebeseriouz (talk) 17:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I hope you continue contributing to Wikipedia!

I would also ask that you do not remove the notability tags from the web pages I added them to. Please refer to wikipedia's notability requirements.

Also, I assure you have no conflict of interest in the topics I am editing.

I agree. There appears to be a conflict of interest in your editing. This is evidenced by you nomination of the Siemens PLM Software article for deletion when it has ample coverage in reliable sources. Justin W Smith ^talk/_stalk 20:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The current article needs more sources to prove notability. If sources like these were added then I would agree that we should keep the article. Currently it talks mostly about its products with a bit of history that is all unsourced or self-sourced. As of now I believe its unacceptable. I am equally showing the same criticism for the lack of references and self-promotion in other companies. Most of the articles do not abide by the notability criteria of wikipedia because they lack sources. Tootitnbootit (talk) 20:49, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:COMPANY again. It says, "Notability requires only that these necessary sources exist, not that the sources have already been named in the article.". Justin W Smith ^talk/_stalk 20:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, but when you type in the name in Google (or click on the link you provided) it only shows press releases. Which are not considered necessary sources by WP:COMPANY. The Forbes article you showed does not show up in the search. That article would be a correct source of notability.Tootitnbootit (talk) 21:00, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I admit that I am also suspicious. Your AfDs and tagging of a single topic made other ask about a COI & you claim not to have one. But I'm also curious why such a recent account would have edits that are only administrative. I don not believe you've violated WP:SOCK yet (with !vote stacking, etc.). But, if you have multiple accounts, I'd encourage full disclosure. --Karnesky (talk) 16:41, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Deletion debates

Hi, I saw you attempted to start two articles for deletion debates for Fluent, Inc. and ANSYS, Inc.. These were malformatted so I went ahead and fixed them. Next time you start an AfD, please be sure to follow the directions here in order to create the AfD page properly and transclude it onto the Articles for Deletion log. If this isn't done, nobody will see the debate and it will sit unanswered for quite some time. Also when tagging an article for deletion, be sure to mention in the edit summary that you are doing so, and it is also considered polite to notify the article's original creator that his article is up for deletion. If you run into trouble setting these up in the future, feel free to ask me for help on my talk page. You might want to look into installing Twinkle, a tool that does most of this work for you in a matter of seconds. Them From Space 00:35, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
