Help me!
Hello My page has the following 2 alerts which I need to address: 1. Article is an orphan 2. Article needs additional citations

I have tried to read the help guides on each of these issues however I am still unclear exactly what needs to be changed on our page.

Could you please help so the page doesn't expire

Thank you

 * "Orphan" means that no other Wikipedia article links to the one on Passion Pop. Thus it's not particularly well-integrated in the encyclopedia. That's a comparatively minor issue.
 * The article cites a single independent source, and that only mentions Passion Pop in passing. That is a major issue because the article, as it currently stands, does not even establish that the drink meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. If we cannot write an article that summarizes what reliable third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines have reported about Passion Pop, we should not have an article on the drink at all.
 * On an unrelated note, I take it from your username that you work for the company that prouces the drink. Please take a moment to review the section on "paid editing without disclosure" in the Terms of Use and make sure you don't accidentally fall short of the disclosure requirements. You can add a note to your user page about your connection to AVL; there's also the paid template available for that purpose. Huon (talk) 02:47, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Help me!
Hi Huon

Thanks for your response. To clarify, are you saying that we can only reference Passion Pop if it has been mentioned in some sort of published article such as a magazine? Does the company website not count as evidence that the product exists? This is where I was confused as the page has been linked to the parent company website.

Yes I do work for the company who produces Passion Pop. I will look into the link you have sent and review.

Thank you Sally-Ann

 * I am not Huon, but I can try to help you. The company website might show that product exists, but subjects of Wikipedia articles also need to meet certain standards of notability, which usually means that sources independent of the subject (like magazines, usually) need to have information about it. Sources with a connection to the subject should usually be avoided anyway, because they tend to be biased. KSFT  (t 04:47, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Help me!
Hello I have now added more citations to my page however I am still receiving the message that the page needs additional citations. Could you please let me know how long until this takes effect that I have added more references? How will I know when the issue has been lifted from the page? Thank you

 * Maintenance tags are not automatically removed from pages when the problem they describe is resolved. See Help:Maintenance template removal. P p p er y 00:58, 28 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I also rather doubt you'll want to argue those are reliable sources, do you? Huon (talk) 01:08, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
