RossAnderson55 The article is designed to provide some historical background on our company, and follows a similar structure to other companies including Medidata Solutions one of our competitors. RossAnderson55 (talk) 09:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, RossAnderson55, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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.&#32;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 another 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 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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!

 * Hi there - I've added the above welcome message because there are some things you need to read before editing further. Your message above seems to indicate that you are an employee of the company you are writing about - that means that COI, and PAID apply to you. I appreciate that you are new here, and that you probably didn't know about any of this, but you need to read these carefully, and make the necessary disclosures, before doing any further work on your draft. Note that the requirements at PAID touch on the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, which you commit to abide by when you make any edit here - failure to comply will result in your account being blocked from editing.
 * With regard to your draft, I've had a look at it, and at the article you mentioned as being about one of your competitors (the original author of which, I notice, has already been indefinitely blocked for undeclared paid editing). There are some substantial differences between the two articles.
 * First, your draft is entirely unsourced - see V and WP:NCORP - we need assertions to be supported by reliable sources in order for readers to be able to verify the information, and we need multiple reliable, independent secondary sources to demonstrate your company's notability.
 * You include multiple external links in the body of your text - we don't do that. A link to the company's website is permitted, but only in an 'External links' section at the end of the article.
 * Your draft contains promotional phrasing that is not appropriate (and does not appear to be present, at least to the same extent, in the other article. Your opening sentence, Evado Clinical is an Australian technology company that has created award winning SAAS software for clinical trials and patient informed consent may be factually correct, but in mentioning the 'award winning' nature of the software is comes across as promotional. Similarly, describing awards as 'prestigious', or the company's products as having 'powerful online tools' are unacceptably promotional.
 * So, yeah - overall this draft isn't acceptable. If you make the necessary COI declarations, you may continue to work on it, and if you are able to address the issues I've outlined you could submit the article again at AfC. Please do not continue with any further editing before making the necessary declarations. Thanks Girth Summit  (blether)  13:22, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, RossAnderson55. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Cahk (talk) 13:00, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Evado Clinical Software


A tag has been placed on Draft:Evado Clinical Software, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. creffett (talk) 13:42, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
