Welcome!
Hello, Jgcurran22, 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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * 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. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Reply
Thank you for replying to my conflict of interest query. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below:


 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.

You basically tell us about the history of the organisation and what it claims to do, but it's not clear why it's notable. It's income is an unspecified grant funding an unspecified number of workers. How much is the grant? Is it a one-off grant, and if so, what happens when the money goes? Does it have offices and permanent admin support? It could be a $500 grant funding a couple of part-time staff, not clear why it meets the notability criteria.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.

Your sources aren't as impeccable as they may look. To pick just one this is someone from the trust talking about the project, so it's not an independent third-party source. You present aims as if they were actual facts. eg helps throughout the entire process: preparing students with tips for the application process, placing the students in positions that will help them achieve their career goals, and providing the now-interns with training so they can succeed in their role.[7] which also isn't supported by the ref if your link is correct. Also WPY's internship coordinator helps provide these often disadvantaged youth with workshop sessions and weekly reflections covering skills they learned and issues they faced. also presents us with apparently proven facts, with no evidence of the monitoring and analysis. Your source isn't an independent site either. I've seen worse, and I'm prepared in principle to restore. However, there is no point doing so if the partnership doesn't meet our criteria, or if you can't find real facts and proper independent refs. Let me know if you want me to restore. Also note that the title needs fixing, the initials should be a redirect to the page title, not part of it Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:05, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
