Hello, I'm REDACTED403. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Genesys International—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you. -REDACTED403 (talk)  10:51, 11 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi. Unfortunately, I've had to revert your edits over at Genesys International. They added large sections of uncited information written in a style that contradicts WP:NPOV. They also removed the references already in the article. Please refrain from making edits like this in the future. You might want to look at WP:V and WP:YFA for some good guides on editing. Also, you might want to check out WP:COI. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 06:36, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Genesys International
First things first- have a look at the Wikipedia Style guides over at WP:MOS. They can help you a lot when it comes to writing with a neutral point of view and in a way that is consistent with other articles on Wikipedia. One of the most important things is adding inline citations. WP:IC Inline citations allow other editors to see where you got your information from, and they help keep us all accountable. I'm going to go ahead and revert your edits again for now, but I have full confidence you'll be able to re-write at least some of those additions in a non-promotional way.

Second- do you work for or have a personal connection with the company? If so, it's vital that you read WP:COI. We allow editors with conflicts of interests, but there are certain rules they must abide by. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 06:52, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * @GreenLipstickLesbian hey thanks for clarity!
 * I represent the company genesys international and have a lot of information that we would like people to understand about us when they search.
 * let me figure out all the citations to make it right.
 * it'll be great if you can highlight certain parts which are prompting this error instead of reverting the entire thing. Shikhar.jaiswalgen (talk) 07:15, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi!
 * To get things out the way- as per Wikimedia policy, you have to disclose this. It seems like you're being paid to do this- which is completely fine- and, in fact, there's a special template you to use. You should fill this out:
 * and place it on your userpage/user talk page (That's the page we're both on now). You also should place this on Talk:Genesys International.
 * Next thing- on Wikipedia, we don't really encourage paid or COI editors to make changes directly to an article- both for the sake our our readers, editors, and even you. For example, did you know that when you write something in a Wikipedia article, you're sharing it under a Creative Commons-Attribution-Sharealike liscense? Or, essentially, you're giving the text over to the internet, and anybody can use it for basically anything? If you yourself did not write that material, it can become very complicated, very quickly. If you write something that's too advertisement-like, and don't disclose it, both the Wikimedia foundation and your company could (hypothetically) get in legal trouble for undisclosed advertising.
 * The good news is, however, that there is a process for you to ask for the information about your company to be placed into the article. It's very simple, and you can go about it in two different ways:
 * First, you can use the COI template on the article's talk page. You can use it to explain what changes you want made to the article and why- but don't forget to add a reference supporting the change!
 * You could also ask over that the Conflict of Interest noticeboard. It's a bit more high-traffic that the article pages, and a lot of experienced editors see that page. However, it's a bit more serious than making a comment at the talk page- and in general, it's for edits that might be a bit more contentious.
 * If you have any questions, there's a useful guide to conflict of interest editing available here. I'd recommend reading it.

Hello, Shikhar.jaiswalgen. I am an administrator and I am giving you a choice. You can agree to stop editing Genesys International and limit yourself to making neutral, well-referenced edit requests at Talk: Genesys International, and your log will be block free. Or, you can continue editing Genesys International, and I will then block you from that page, and you will have a block on your log. Which do you choose?

 * I'll go with "agree to stop editing Genesys International and limit yourself to making neutral, well-referenced edit requests at Talk: Genesys International". I'll look for how to make such requests in templates. Shikhar.jaiswalgen (talk) 05:27, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
