User talk:Landis91

How do I start a wikipedia page for the company that I work for? I think all of the information that we put was factual rather than for advertisement. This block is because of my coworker who was assigned to create the page. I would assume that it got blocked because she put SHREDZ in her user name. If that is an issue, can an admin change that or tell us how to edit her profile?
 * You should not be writing about your employers. As for the block, it's because you're both using identical IPs, so the autoblock levied on her account (which prevents other accounts using the same IP from editing for a short while, to discourage sockpuppetry) also affects you. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 03:48, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Landis91, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Shredz Supplements, 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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! 220  of  Borg 23:38, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

I understand that I can not edit the SHREDZ page, but there are some things on the page that are not fact-based or substantiated by sources. The 2014 sales and desire to sell at 1.5B in 2015 are cited by the Forbes article but that is nowhere in the article. Can that be taken out? Landis91 (talk) 18:24, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "the SHREDZ page"? There is not, and never has been, any article on English language Wikipedia titled either SHREDZ or Shredz. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:44, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
