Yes, I do have a conflict of interest. That said, I modeled the page after a similar company Payoneer. I'm happy to make the appropriate modifications or ask that an editor make those changes. Would you please confirm that you have received this message? This is my first time messaging using Talk. --Blythwood (talk)

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Transpay, 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.)

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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Blythwood (talk) 18:30, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Transpay article
Hello, I’ve just read this article. Thanks for writing it but I'm a bit concerned that this company might not be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That link goes to a guide, but basically any coverage of a company on here is supposed to be based on being covered in reliable sources, like newspapers, in the form of full articles and not just things like business listings. In addition, the article is written in a promotional tone, not the neutral tone of an encyclopaedia. For comparison, here is an article I've written on a company I don't have a connection with. You'll see it's much more about basic facts (how many employees? founded when?) and has citations to third-party websites

Are there any extra citations you can add about this organisation showing it's notable? I'm concerned since the article could get deleted otherwise very quickly. If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool. If you've got any questions just reply below this and I'll try to get back to you. Blythwood (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry, just come back to you. It should be fine if you're just adding citations, but feel free to discuss this with someone, perhaps on chat if you want a quick reply or the paid editing forum - I'm just some random person and I'm certainly not the one who makes the rules! Having said that: ideally, an article should be entirely based on sources from reliable news outlets, as is true on the Payoneer article. If your company can't meet the notability criteria for coverage, the article will get deleted. Blythwood (talk) 21:20, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Transpay


A tag has been placed on Transpay, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
