User talk:ShatterproofFilms

Welcome!
Hello, ShatterproofFilms, 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.

Draft:Initiation (2020 film)
Hi! I saw that you created a draft for an unreleased film. There are some issues with the article, which I'll go into below. First off, I was to say that I'm glad that you're working in the Articles for Deletion area - that's exactly the right way to go about editing with a conflict of interest. You just need to change your username to reflect more on you as an individual. It can be something like "Name at ShatterproofFilms" or "HorrorFan2020". Basically, the username can't be the name of the company and can't be a group account.

The main thing I'm running into with this is that the coverage seems to be predominantly about where it's screened. To show where this film is notable it would need coverage to show that either the production itself was notable or reviews from reliable sources like newspapers or media outlets like Bloody Disgusting, Dread Central, and the like. Since it screened at Screamfest, the reviews are likely just a matter of time. I'm going to decline it for the time being, but will try and keep an eye out for coverage. Horror books and films are kind of my forte on Wikipedia, so it'll be easy for me to remember to check. Honestly, it looks like something I'd have created on my own once I saw the reviews for it start to pop up. :) On a side note, keep in mind that even if the reviews aren't positive, they will still be in the article. I know that can be difficult to see, but I just wanted to give you fair warning. Horror's pretty subjective, so it's kind of par for the course. Yesterday's dud is today's cult classic, after all. The one review I saw so far (doesn't look like it's in a place Wikipedia would consider a RS, unfortunately) says nice things though!
