User talk:Emandelcorn

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Integrated Computer Solutions, 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 of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * 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.

i am looking to edit my company's wikipedia page since it is quite a few years out of date. I have the links and sources to validate all our claims and give a more accurate representation of our company in the last many years. they were found in the last edit which i have saved off site. what do i need to do to make these changes?

 * First, please read the paid editing policy and make the Terms of Use-required formal disclosure on your userpage as instructed there. Please also read conflict of interest. You misunderstand some things here. Your company does not have a "wikipedia page".  Wikipedia has an article about your company. Its purpose is primarily to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about your company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not intersted in what a company wants to say about itself or what it considers to be its own history- we are interested in what others say a company's history is. If there are specific errors, or changes that you feel are needed, please propose them as formal edit requests(click for instructions) on the article talk page(Talk: Integrated Computer Solutions).  You should, in general, not directly edit the article about your company. 331dot (talk) 20:28, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In the previous edit, we provided a large amount of the material out there about our company to match an accurate version of our history as reported by others. we assumed that this would be a positive thing for the wikipedia page. How should we go about doing those edits? Emandelcorn (talk) 18:56, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Your edits introduced:
 * Press releases (Bloomberg) - we will not accept company-authored material such as press releases, as this is self-published. Material being cited must be taken from sources that are both reliable (having an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight) and independent (with no personal, political or financial interest in the subject).
 * Trade publications (Exhibitor) - trade publications often have a promotional bias and are meant to generate interest in the subject, instead of providing objective coverage. In addition, this source has a paywall - not a show-stopper, but it makes it harder for a review to verify the content cited to it.
 * Routine or insignificant coverage (Wickedlocal/UX Design) - a brief human interest story or an announcement of a non-notable award is not significant coverage about the company.
 * I will also note that this article has been nominated for deletion at Articles for deletion/Integrated Computer Solutions. You may make a case for its retention there, but you'll be expected to provide solid reasons.
 * You also appear to have a colleague editing the article who has, as of the time of writing, failed to disclose as a paid editor. You should encourage them to comply with this mandatory policy or they risk being blocked. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
