 * 1) If you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your business, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is. (To avoid the possibility of a surprisingly common misunderstanding, editing is part of paid work if it is done as part of normal employment or as part of a work to a contract, whether or not a specific payment earmarked for editing Wikipedia is made.)
 * 2) It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. Certainly we can't accept text previously published on a web site which has a copyright notice saying "all rights reserved", as in the case of material you have postedJBW (talk) 09:04, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1. I am working part time for DESMI, so, of course, I have gained most of my knowledge about DESMI from working here. However, as I am only here once a week, my subjectivity towards the subject is minimal. I was asked to create this page by DESMI, that is correct, but as I am of academic education, which means that I am taught to be critical of what I learn, and express objectivity as much as possible. Therefore, the text is highly estranged from promotional perspective, as this was never the intend. I simply seek that people wanting to learn more about the company's history can do so. I hope this clarify section 1.
 * 2. I have full acceptance to use this material for this page, it has been revived by managers in DESMI, and is therefore not a breach on their copyright, as they in addition to me seek to have information of the companies history available on other platforms than their own. I wrote this text in word before placing it in this draft, which is why is has been copy pasted in. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding, and that by reading the text, it will be clear that promotion was never the intend. Pumping Solutions (talk) 06:41, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * If you can write stuff like "DESMI is known to be a modern and dynamic company following the latest regulations and requirements in the field and having a changing business environment" and honestly think it isn't promotional then you will probably never be able to write in the neutral way required for a Wikipedia article. If the owners of the business wish to make the content of their website available for anyone in the world to reuse, for any purpose whatsoever, modifying it in any way whatsoever, then saying "all rights reserved" on their web site is unhelpful, and it would be a good idea for them to remove that. If you wish to, you may read Donating copyrighted materials to see how to release material for publication on Wikipedia, but my advice is that doing so would be an unconstructive use of your time, as the material would be unsuitable for Wikipedia for other reasons, such as being promotional.
