Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Chumtarou. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Royal Pacific Realty, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 00:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello 331dot, thank you for your comment. I'm a Canadian real estate enthusiast and would like to expand the List of real estate companies of Canada page by adding real Canadian businesses that are Canadian founded and owned. For example another missing brokerage is called Sutton which is also a large 100% Canadian owned brokerage as well as a firm called Prompton. Would you have a recommendation on how best I can continue to add to this list as I would like to adhere to the guidelines. Would like to help add well known brokerages to make the List of real estate companies of Canada more complete. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chumtarou (talk • contribs) 00:54, 19 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. So to clarify, you don't work for any of the companies you intend to write about?  You did write "Royal Pacific Realty Group is known for caring about the communities and neighbourhoods in which we do business" in the Royal Pacific Realty article you created.
 * Regarding creating pages, and assuming you don't have a conflict of interest, please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not merely a business directory, but an encyclopedia where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources to meet the relevant notability guidelines- in this case, those for businesses. That means that Wikipedia articles must consist of what those independent sources state about the subject, and not what the subject states about themselves(or what they might want it to say). Not every business merits a page here(including every business in a particular industry or field).  Reviewing Royal Pacific Realty, it seems like it could meet notability guidelines, but no independent sources are offered.  These would be things like news stories, independent reviews, anything not written by the company that describes some aspect of it in depth.
 * I would suggest that if you want to write other articles that you use the Articles for Creation process, which allows for you to get feedback on it before it is posted to the main encyclopedia. Successfully writing articles is one of the hardest things to do on Wikipedia, and many users try and try again until they get one up to an acceptable level. If you have any other questions, please ask. Thanks 331dot (talk) 01:09, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your recommendations 331dot. Yes that is correct and appreciate the suggestions and areas needing attention. I unfortunately copied and pasted some text to get things started for this brokerage. I will be sure to not copy paste any text in future.

For sources, I have found two examples which seem to be very notable items for Canadian real estate:


 * Andrew Peck, a founder of Royal Pacific, has been elected the President of CREA (Canadian Real Estate Association


 * Sing Yeo, a founder of Royal Pacific, was awarded Order of British Columbia

For other notable Canadian owned brokerages, I will be sure to use the Articles for Creation process - thank you for this tip.

While there are brokerages such as Century 21 and Remax around the world, I'd like to share Canadian companies doing great things for Canadians and to help represent them on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chumtarou (talk • contribs) 17:29, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
