Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, AndyCytrycki. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 🔥 Yes I'mOnFire 🔥( ContainThis Ember? ) 09:18, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Request for help
I'm trying to create a page on a company. And then a few pages on the team. Now I can only see User page and there the page I'm working on - how can I create the company page and the team members pages? Thnak you AndyCytrycki (talk) 09:42, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * please only ask your question in one place. ltbdl (talk) 10:14, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * sure thing - I'm a new user still learning. AndyCytrycki (talk) 10:16, 22 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Can you clarify what you intend to do a little? What do you mean by "the team"? Do you mean the people who work for the company? Are you working for the company, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity? JBW (talk) 10:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Of course. I'm Head of PR in the company. I wanted to create a page on the company - a brief description - just like i.e. Citibank has its page - with the history, that it does etc. As well as add the bios of the Management - CEO etc - exactly the same as other companies do. AndyCytrycki (talk) 10:21, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * If you really can't see the difference between the way the article Citibank is written and the way you have written about your business, then you are unlikely ever to be able to write in the neutral way required for Wikipedia. My guess is that you are probably being perfectly sincere, and really can't see the difference. It seems that many people who work in marketing/advertising/PR/etc spend so much time, day after day, year after year, reading and writing promotional language that eventually they become desensitised to it, and honestly cannot see the promotional character of writing which hits other people in the face as soon as they look at it. A consequence of that is that such people often find it very difficult, or even impossible, to adjust to writing in the neutral way required for Wikipedia, even if they sincerely intend to do so.

 * "Experience has unfortunately shown that most (but not all) people with experience in PR cannot be taught to write a proper article, because they are so completely oriented to writing advertisements or quasi-advertisements that they honestly cannot see the difference between that and a proper encyclopedia article." -- User:DGG" -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  16:42, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * After your first message I fully understand what you meant about the differences - and for me it wont be a problem - I just wasn't sure on the policy - know its clear to me. The only thing I want to be sure of is - if I write a page on the company - that will be fully as a description and without any marketing aspects will it be posted. I didn't say I don't see the difference.
 * I just wanted to find out how and is it possible to create such pages. As I said there is a page on one of the members of the team. I also looked up different bios - and see the box that the text is advertisement. AndyCytrycki (talk) 10:52, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You keep using that bullshit term "team". There is no "team". I finally figured out that it's a euphemism for management of the company. Use of marketing junk verbiage like that will finally get you blocked for attempting to commit marketing here. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  16:41, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Use of Wikipedia for promotion or advertising
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. You have in fact already been told editing for promotion is unacceptable, but the very brief mention of it may have been lost to your attention amongst the other material posted above, so I thought it might help you to give you a more prominent warning about it. Be careful: if you continue to post promotional material then you may be blocked from editing by an administrator. JBW (talk) 10:11, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Some advice on getting started as a Wikipedia editor
My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
