Hello and Some Advice
Hi Kleeder.

I saw that you are editing the NTT Europe articles and have had a little trouble so I thought I ought to offer you some advice. First up, if, like me, you work for NTT Europe or another NTT company, you should be very careful about editing Wikipedia on these subjects. This can lead to conflicts of interest even when none is intended. This is why I never touch the NTT related articles, except to remove the most blatant of vandalism. The dual risk is that of upsetting NTT while serving Wikipedia or upsetting Wikipedia while serving NTT. It is far better to keep these things separate as I want to do the right thing for both. Besides, I have told a lot of other people off for conflicts of interests and I don't want to look like a hypocrite.

To make a more general point, I think it is important to understand that Wikipedia is not a business directory and the sort of content Wikipedia wants is quite different from what would appear in a business directory. A company should be written about in the round, covering its history, not just as a snapshot of its current operations. For this reason, the NTT Europe Online article might still be of some interest even though the company is now merged with NTT Europe. That said, the content you removed was not great and does not seem to be worth rescuing so it might be better to cover it all in one article and just make Online into a redirect.

Maybe the best thing to do is to look at other articles about businesses, preferably ones that have been given a good quality assessment, to see how they are written and structured.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Kleeder. 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 NTT Europe Ltd, 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.
 * 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. —&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;Bill W.&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160; (Talk)&#160;&#160;(Contrib)&#160;&#160; (User:Wtwilson3) &#160;&#160;— 16:39, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
