Hello. I have noticed that you have made a major contribution to 4490 Ventures. It seems that you know a lot about this company, which prompts me to consider the possibility that you may have a connection with it outside of Wikipedia. We have policy against editors making insider contributions to articles (see WP:COI). You mentioned that you are able to provide press releases, which could act as citations (or references) to the article's content. I am happy to look through this for you, if you direct me to it on my talk page. You also added some external links. WP:EL does not allow this sort of linking within the article body. You are welcome to try to re-add the links in some sort of footnote/further reading section at the bottom of the page, but I would suggest that they would be removed, as there is no need for them. You may like to try creating an article ... You have your own sandbox, where you may work on your own drafts of articles, or sections of existing ones. If you create an article, you may submit it through a process called Articles for Creation, where an experienced editor will provide you with feedback on how you may improve it. I strongly encourage you to leave a message on my talk page, with the potential references for the 4490 Ventures article, and I will be happy to advise you on where to go next. My talk page is the place to go if you have any further queries. – Sb2001 talk page 14:38, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I am disappointed to see that you chose to ignore the warnings and blatantly re-insert external links, therefore ignoring WP:EL. – Sb2001 talk page 15:37, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello original Wiki author of the 4490 Ventures page: Thanks for your suggestions and warnings. I am simply trying to update the content about 4490 Ventures to ensure that it is more up to date, while remaining 100% factual and objective. I am new at this and granted, a little confused by the process, but I want to make sure I am submitting content and references correctly and within the Wikipedia process. I will work with you to do things right and stay logged in Monday through Friday to check for messages, suggestions, etc., from you. THANKS! Doug Voegtle (talk) 15:07, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
