Hello, Archiespeakserrano. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:08, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Everything that is written is fact. Archiespeakserrano (talk) 17:11, 30 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Please see this for how to request changes to the article. There's a reason we don't allow people that are associated with a subject to make changes directly - your edits so far have been promotional at best. This article is not a brochure about your company. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:11, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

'I have taken verbatim text from a competitors wiki page and edited it to be true for this firm. It is fact and it not promotional in anyway. This is why we are using already written code to make sure we aren't violating'

Text from competitor- PERKINS AND WILL: Established in 1935, Perkins+Will is a global architecture and design firm with a staff of 1,500 in 24 locations worldwide. The firm serves clients across project types that include aviation, transit, corporate, commercial, civic, healthcare, higher education, K-12 education, science and technology, and sports and recreation.

Proposed change- TVSDESIGN: Established in 1968, tvsdesign is a global architecture, planning and interior design firm with 175+ design professional in four locations Atlanta, Chicago, Dubai and Shanghai. The firm serves clients across project types that include aquariums, convention centers, cultural arts, healthcare, higher education, hospitality, mixed use, office, residential, retail, showrooms, sports venue, and workplace.

Tell me how this is any different than the competitor text.Archiespeakserrano (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I just fixed that article up. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:24, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Could you give me an example of a profile of a similar company that is acceptable. We need to get this page updated correctly.Archiespeakserrano (talk) 17:26, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No, you do not "need" to get this page updated. If you have constructive improvements that won't turn it into a brochure, follow the instructions I provided earlier to suggest them in the article's talk page. Please do not edit the article directly again. And this is required reading in case you missed it. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:29, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Because MOST have the same text that I suggested for tvsdesign. Please make the changes to all these to reflect less promotional text. ''' Thanks in advance! ''' Archiespeakserrano (talk) 18:08, 30 July 2015 (UTC)


 * That's nice. You could have fixed those articles, or in the time it took you to look up all of this and type your clever response, you could have come up with some neutral wording for the intro of your company's article. But unfortunately you are obviously not here to help build an encyclopedia. Ultimately, the argument that you want to spam because there's already spam somewhere else is not going to work. I am done with this, so if you need additional help please head over to WP:THQ. The restriction on your direct editing of the article remains, and the instructions to request changes are here again. § FreeRangeFrog croak 19:31, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
