Hello, I'm Ingenuity. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Encompass Technologies have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. &mdash; Ingenuity (talk &bull; contribs) 14:06, 22 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Could you point out the specific areas that were promotional? I had updated content to be as specific to the company based on relevant sources and the industry description of content. The intention was to provide a thorough understanding of the company for anyone wishing to learn more. GarthBox (talk) 14:09, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The entire edit was promotional. Things like "... is on a mission to improve the food and beverage supply chain ..." sound like they come straight from the company's website. &mdash; Ingenuity (talk &bull; contribs) 14:11, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The entire edit was not promotional. You're telling me that adding in things like the reward or linking to specific acquisitions is promotional with external references? I respect some language might be too promotional (I tried taking information from their news releases, etc.) But reverting the entirety of the page is doing more harm than good. Leaving the page stating "Encompass develops beverage distributing software" isn't accurate of what they do, which is why I wrote "The company develops food and beverage software for multiple manufacturers, distributors and retailers." If you want to be helpful with me, please remove only the promotional language or invest the time to edit the page better than I have so readers get accurate and truthful information about the company. Let me know how you want to do that together. GarthBox (talk) 14:23, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you have a connection to this company (either a conflict of interest or paid editing)? &mdash; Ingenuity (talk &bull; contribs) 14:29, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Just looked into each of those thoroughly. Probably conflict of interest, yes. That's why I'm hoping we can work together on making proper edits. GarthBox (talk) 14:41, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not interested in updating your company's article, sorry. If you have edits you would like made, you can request them on the article's talk page using the template. &mdash; Ingenuity (talk &bull; contribs) 14:43, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Got it. I can do that. Thanks for the direction. GarthBox (talk) 14:44, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
