User talk:BandwidthGeorge

Welcome!
Hello, BandwidthGeorge, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Bandwidth (company), which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Daylen (talk) 23:33, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Spinning!
Hello BandwidthGeorge.

I read that you were "just trying to update our page to make it more reflective of our current offerings/bring it up to date regarding our IPO (with input from our legal team to make sure everything aligned with our SEC filing)." when you almost-entirely rewrote an article which I had updated a mere nine days earlier.

You completely deleted any information which referenced news reports that Bandwidth has been determined to provide a platform for abusive robo-calling firms, including: * https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/bandwidthcom-voip/internet-select-stateprovince/bandwidthcom-voip-this-company-facilitates-telemarketing-phone-scammers-internet-co-1133703 * https://miami.cbslocal.com/2014/03/17/ft-lauderdale-dentist-claims-phone-number-was-hijacked/

As such, your update may properly be viewed as scrubbing sources of possible regulator information immediately prior to a filing. That practice is condemned as both unethical and illegal. That means [a] you should have known and that [b] you shouldn't have done it.

Hoping Santa left you a lump of coal...
