 * Hello! It looks like I have been banned from contributing to Wikipedia entirely. I have never created an article before and was asked to create a page for our company when it launched just so it was an existing entity. Our company name "Solidigm" is referenced in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SK_Hynix and we'd love to be a cross reference. Someone else on our team created the content and I guess it was not in alignment with Wikipedia's standards. But we are still a real company and would like to be searchable. What should my next steps be? Al.schweizer (talk) 22:28, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

A company is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. Topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to be considered worthy of inclusion. In the case of a company, it must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for companies. For this to happen, the company must have already gained significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself.

In addition, you cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, free of charge and in perpetuity, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
