Welcome!
Hello, Hatchykim, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Susquehanna Bank, 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! John of Reading (talk) 17:08, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Which page are you referring to? and what exactly is it you are trying to change? Please place your responce directly bellow this answer and replace the tag on this page. In the mean time these pages my help to get you started WP:HOW & WP:NUH. -- wintonian   talk  20:23, 11 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, Hatchykim. I'm the editor who undid your edit at Susquehanna Bank. I'm in the UK and about to go to bed, but I'll check here tomorrow morning and write a better explanation. If you'd like to hear from someone sooner than that, or would like another editor's opinion, then write another  on this page and someone should be along. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:59, 11 December 2012 (UTC)


 * (More) OK, there are two or three issues here.


 * Notability - There are millions of companies and organisations in the world, and Wikipedia doesn't aim to have a page on each one: Wikipedia is not a directory. Instead, Wikipedia aims to cover any organisation that has previously been written about in reliable sources such as books, journals and respected news outlets. It is unfortunate that you deleted the sentence about the 2011 acquisition, as that was backed up by a reference to a piece in the Philadelphia Business Journal. The article currently has nothing to show that the bank is notable (in this Wikipedia sense), since it only links to the bank's own website. The page "WP:42" is a handy summary of the level of coverage normally required for a Wikipedia article to exist.
 * Verifiability - How can readers trust what they find in Wikipedia? By following up the references and checking for themselves. You've added a paragraph about the bank's housing and community projects, but you haven't added anything to say where the information has come from.
 * Advertising and Conflict of interest - When I saw that you'd added the text "Our employees contribute...", it looked as if you were trying to use the Wikipedia page as an extension of the company's website. I see that you have corrected that wording now.
 * You may find it helpful to read through the FAQ page for businesses and organisations. -- John of Reading (talk) 08:04, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
