Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! -- samtar whisper 20:10, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * You make no secret of the fact that you work directly or indirectly for the company, and therefore have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . Please do not edit further until you answer this message.
 * we do indeed need a Wikipedia page in order for people to have access to information about us&mdash; the criterion is whether we need your article, not whether you need us.
 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, press releases social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. the version I deleted had no references at all
 * Articles for deletion/Rapid7 covers the notability issue at the time of the second deletion. The third version, deleted by me, had no sources and no indication that you were anything more than just one of thousands of small IT companies out there. To show notability you need verifiable hard facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits.
 * you must write in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. that's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to company pages.
 * Just one example of claims presented as fact from the 2013 version include Mobilisafe, Rapid's first mobile-focused product, helps users manage the risk associated with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Mobilisafe's cloud-based risk management solution provides immediate visibility of users and devices accessing company data, real-time vulnerability mapping to identify devices susceptible to emerging risks and the ability to define and deploy policies to mitigate risk. Administrators can alert employees of available firmware updates, block highly vulnerable devices or, in the case of a lost or stolen device, remotely wipe data.&mdash;sales pitch sourced only to your company
 * You must write in your own words. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

If you still don't meet the notability criteria above, any article you create will be deleted on sight, sicne there has already been a deletion discussion. If you think that you do meet the criteria, note the following
 * You or any other editor must make the COI declaration or you will be blocked
 * You must write a neutral, third-party-sourced article, which is difficult for any employee. Inclusion of criticisms and competitors helps
