Introduction
Hi, this is my talk page. Please feel free to leave your comments below.

Help me!
Hi, My name is Jonathan and I'm currently interning at NeoZeo AB. I have been tasked to create a Wikipedia page for the company. I would like to ask if I could potentially invite other editors to review my draft. I started working on it today on my Sandbox page.

Thank you!

 * Thank you for disclosing that you are PAID by NeoZeo to write about NeoZeo. The is unsourced, and based on a search for sources I doubt the company is currently notable, cf. Notability (organizations and companies). Please do not use Wikipedia for promotional purposes. Sam Sailor 15:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)


 * , while this type of internship assignment is not uncommon, it is very problematic from Wikipedia's point of view. That's because you have been asked by your employer to potentially violate our Conflict of Interest policy.  I congratulate you for starting this article in your sandbox and asking your question here to clarify the situation instead of simply creating a new article in the main article space.  That is an awesome first step to establishing your intent to edit in good faith.  The next step you need to take is to read, understand, and follow the instructions on that policy page I linked (particularly the section on  disclosure) and you might also want to take a look at the help available to CoI editors such as yourself.
 * Having looked at your sandbox, I immediately see that there are no sources, which by itself will cause this article to be rejected. You should take a look at the page on identifying reliable sources and also the page on citing those sources.
 * Taking a slightly deeper look, I think you might also have issues with the notability of this company. "Notability" is defined slightly differently in Wikipedia than it is in general business or academic usage.  Here it means that the article subject has ...received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject....  What I see from a quick googling in English is this company's own website, some business directory articles, and a few PR-type articles.  While you can include the company's website as an external link, this type of results are generally not independent or not significant.  Maybe there's more in Swedish sources that would qualify for those criteria.  There are also other criteria that can demonstrate notability for companies and you should see if you can use any of those.  We would hate to have your supervisor hear you say: "Sorry, they don't think you deserve an article on Wikipedia."  (Such a statement is not exactly correct, but it's what they will undoubtedly hear.)
 * Lastly, you would need to make very sure that you comply with the core content policies, particularly the neutral point of view policy. This last is one of the most difficult for CoI editors and one of the reasons that a CoI policy exists in the first place. Phrases like "...patenting of a novel absorbent..." and "The NanoMonolith project featured a new method of packing powders..." and "...received recognition by SU Innovation as the Best Business Idea from the university..." will send up red flags for many editors.  CoI editors have to be very careful to avoid peacock terms and other versions of puffery.  Please understand that I don't think this version crosses any lines but also understand that your work will attract heightened scrutiny.  Compared to what we often see around here, yours is a model of self restraint so again, congrats for getting that right.
 * I apologize for the length of this, but I wanted to give you as much information as possible to help avoid the type of missteps that often affect new users. If you have further questions, you can ask again here or if you wish, you can use my talk page.  There is also a very useful Help desk.
