Hello. Do you have any affiliations with Altibase, or related companies or persons? Why did you decide to edit the Altibase article? -- intgr [talk] 20:14, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I don't. The Alitbase page is closely related in subject to a page I'm gearing up to write, and I'm using it as a launchboard to understand Wikipedia. Thank you for your question.

 * Beware that the Altibase article is not a good example to learn from, I strongly recommend starting somewhere else. The company has a long history of attempting to insert spam into Wikipedia and edits by people with a conflict of interest, leading to an unbalanced article; blatant violations have been reverted, but no volunteer has put in the effort of rewriting the article in a neutral tone. Adding lists of praising soundbites only makes it worse, so I am going to have to delete that.
 * Also note that you changed the lead section in a way that does not conform to Wikipedia Manual of Style. -- intgr [talk] 20:38, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your clarification. I see that you deleted the 'accolades' section, but in the two articles I sourced, I also included the negatives, ie. that Altibase does not have penetration in markets outside of South Korea. What is it about the products page that reads like an advertisement? I don't understand.

Hello, Eugeneharrogate. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Trident Media Group, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- intgr [talk] 01:45, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
