Ways to improve Decibel Therapeutics
Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Marinamano, thanks for creating Decibel Therapeutics!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I don't see any mention in independent, reliable sources that indicates why this company is interesting, important, or otherwise notable. Please remove the background section unless you can explain how there is a direct relationship to the company. Unless it's about the company it's irrelevant. A simple link to Hearing loss suffices.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Are you a paid editor?
Hello Marinamano. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Decibel Therapeutics. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Marinamano. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. - Bri (talk) 11:53, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
