I Have read a few company pages however I am trying to grasp the writing method which may not be seen as adverizement.

Ahmed.wikipedian (talk) 10:17, 25 March 2013 (UTC) Dear JohnCD, Many many thanks for your kind response in this regard. Can I publish ? Actually I am writing a very first article and I am little confused that the article must not be looked like an advertisement. I will really appreciate your help and time for me and for my article.


 * In order to start an article in your own "userspace", it is best not to do it on your talk page, so as to keep that clear for messages. Next time, you can click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title: that will set up for you a draft page like the one I have made for this article.


 * In the box at the top of the draft page there is a link "Submit the article!" which will send it to WP:Articles for creation, where an experienced use will look at it and either accept it or give you feedback.


 * It is neatly laid out and not too promotional in tone, but it would not be accepted as it is because it is missing one important thing: independent references. Wikipedia is selective about subjects: it does not expect to have articles about every company, any more than about every person. The criterion used to decide is called Notability and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? For more detail see WP:Notability (summary), WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and the WP:FAQ/Organizations.


 * An encyclopedia article should not be the company telling the world about itself, but a view of the company from outside. Independent references are an important source for that. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for some background.


 * I expect you could point out existing articles which do not have independent references: we know that out of over 4 million articles many are substandard, so the argument "What about that other article?" is not accepted - a new article is considered on its own merits.


 * Here are some more pages you may find useful:
 * Introduction to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * I am afraid I have given you a lot of reading, but do not worry about it all - start with WP:Notability (summary) and look for independent references. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:55, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!
