Speedy deletion nomination of User:VisualAwareness/sandbox
[edit]
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:VisualAwareness/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
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. VVikingTalkEdits 18:29, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello, VisualAwareness. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:53, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Please help me with... Adding a company to Wiki. I have researched and have a lot of valuable information, as well as cited sources. I tried before but the article was removed because I'm a COI.

- VisualAwareness, what is your connection to the company? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:41, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
I am the digital marketing manager at the company. I would prefer a third party submit the company to Wiki as I am a conflict of interest. I can forward all research I have done, which I've tried to make as non-biased as possible.
- VisualAwareness, have you seen our username policy? I do not know what your company is, but I think I found two that seem related to your username. Edible Melon (talk) 14:54, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@BethNaught, am I able to post now, since I've edited 10 articles, or do I still need a third party?
- Hi - if you want to send a notification to another user from a talk page, you can ping them. BethNaught won't have seen that last message (unless they have this page on their watchlist), but they should receive a notification now because of how I formatted their username above. See WP:PING for more on this, and make sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), as that is what triggers the notification.
- To answer your question - you are employed by the company, so you need to read the COI and PAID guidelines, and take the necessary steps. Writing about a subject you have a conflict of interest with is not strictly prohibited, but it is strongly discouraged, and there are expectations of how you should go about editing - you should not, for example, attempt to write an article without going through the articles for creation process, and when the article is eventually published, you should not edit it directly yourself, but make change requests on the article page.
- Finally, you really need to read the username policy, already linked to above, and request a change in your username via WP:UNC because account names that explicitly represent a company name are not permitted. It would be OK to use your real name, or a made up name, or even some combination of the company name and your real name like 'Bob@VisualAwareness', but it can't just be the company name.
