User talk:EA.jcbkrt

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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 of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide

 * 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.

Help me!
Please help me with editing the Ethan Allen (furniture company) page. I work for Ethan Allen as our Social Media Manager, and have been asked by our Senior Marketing Director to edit the image used on this article to something that is more up to date. I did upload a photo from our creative team, but it looks like that edit has been removed/reverted to the original version. Not sure what I need to do to make sure that the updated imagery stays there. There is also a request by our Senior Marketing Director to see if we are able to edit the search name, if possible. Please let me know what, if anything, I need to do to make these edits and have them stay.

Thanks!

 * , I think the message right above should already contain all the information you are asking for. Can this be closed or is there a specific part that needs explanation? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2019 (UTC)


 * First of all, please review the disclosure requirements for paid editors explained at WP:PAID. Template:Paid gives snippets of code you can copy-paste to your user page and fill out to make the necessary disclosure.
 * That said, the photo you intended to use did not provide any information about the company (or is that the lounge in front of the CEO's office?) but served to advertise your products. That clearly is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. I also doubt that you, personally, took the photo and own the copyright; we'd need to know who, exactly, owns the copyright, and likely a confirmation by the copyright holder that they're really releasing the image under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes; otherwise the image violates the relevant copyright policies and will have to be deleted. (Even if the copyright issue is resolved, the image will of course still be unsuitable for the article about your company. We're not free ad space or your catalogue.)
 * Regarding the "search name", I assume you refer to the parenthetical disambiguation "Ethan Allen (furniture company)". You didn't say what you'd like the page title to be, but the current title seems generally appropriate to me. "Ethan Allen" is how reliable third-party sources commonly refer to the company (e.g. "Ethan Allen laying off about 260 in Beecher Falls). If it were the only entity named "Ethan Allen", then that would be the title of our article (the relevant policy is WP:COMMONNAME). However, there are numerous other people and entities named "Ethan Allen" (listed at Ethan Allen (disambiguation)), and the furniture company is hardly the primary topic, so disambiguation is required. What isn't required is the word "furniture"; apparently this is the only company of that name (that we have an article about), so "Ethan Allen (company)" already provides sufficient disambiguation. I have moved the article to that title.
 * In general, the article's talk page at Talk:Ethan Allen (company) is a good place to discuss the improvement of the article. Huon (talk) 17:19, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
