Stucchi
Hi — you appear to have turned what was a disambiguation page (WP:DAB) into an article on a company by the same name. Which is fine, you're allowed, even encouraged, to be WP:BOLD. However, once your edit was reverted (in this case by ) you shouldn't then just repeat your bold move, you should discuss on the article talk page in order to establish community consensus — see WP:BRD — this is how we work collaboratively and avoid edit wars.

There were further problems with your article, namely:
 * 1) It was unsupported by citations, thereby failing the WP:N notability requirement; and
 * 2) The contents seem to have been copy-pasted, or at best closely paraphrased, from websites such as stucchiusa.com.

For all these reasons I have reverted your latter edit.

If you wish to create an article on your version of Stucchi, the "leading global manufacturer of hydraulic quick coupler products", etc., please feel free to do so, and if successful, that article can then also be linked to from the Stucchi disambiguation page. Do NOT, however, attempt to take over the Stucchi page again, without gaining consensus first. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask eg. at the WP:TEAHOUSE.

Finally, seeing as your only edits have to do with the Stucchi company, I will post below a message regarding conflicts of interest (COI), which I would ask you to study carefully and disclose any relationship you may have with the company in question.

Hope this helps, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:33, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Nikki du Toit. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Stucchi, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:34, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
