Welcome!
Hello, Steevems, 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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * 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!

 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. I didn't check all the refs, but those I did included the comapny itself, multiple sources just quoting or interviewing the boss (including his own LinkedIn) or press releases. We don't care what the company or its boss says, we need proper independent third-party sources.
 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. There are no facts about this company apart from what it sells. No figures for number of employees, turnover or profits,


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. Your text is all basically promo, sourced to non-RS sites Some examples


 * Salpoglou had been an expert in early web technology who realized the power of harnessing search engine optimization


 * software technologies that help users get more accurate data making them one of the largest real-time apartment... (sourced to the company website, so must be true!)


 * We've got real people — not just algorithms — ensuring that what our users see is exactly what they'll get. (sourced to the boss)


 * Utilizing a powerful combination of technology coupled with human interaction to deliver unique results. Their database is constantly maintained by a network of licensed real estate agents, property management specialists, and professional paid staff. This creates accurate and in-depth listings for properties throughout the entire Greater Boston area


 * and so on, relentless spam.


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are just spam links to company sites.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. I didn't check whether you had copied from their website, since it was spam anyway, but I note that you had no wikilinks at all in your text, which is often an indicator.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article.

I'm not going to restore this fact-free, unsourced promo. There's nothing worth keeping. Since you have no connection to the company, best to walk away from this, especially as you seem to be a fan of the company, which has obviously made it hard for you to write neutrally.

Hi Jim, thank you for taking the time to review again, I had changed the document quite a bit since the last feedback that was given my main mistake is that I used a lot of the info from their website and PR articles and got caught up with their same tone of voice, however, I have changed it and now it looks more neutral, I will make a couple of more changes to specific areas that you have mentioned and definitely will not republish until there are more stable references. Would you mind sending me the Wikipedia code as I would like to use that as a template for what I did mainly because it took me quite a bit to learn how to use the code for the layout and style of the article and having it will help me in the future.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:3768:4810:F4A9:38C6:CE95:EDDB (talk) 08:43, 15 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Please don't edit while signed out, as you have done above and on my talk page, it's not a good idea since it makes you more vulnerable; also please sign your messages. I'll shortly restore the text User:Steevems/sandbox temporarily. Please take a copy as soon as possible, since it might well be deleted by another admin. I'll delete it myself in a couple of days, so don't take too long! Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  10:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
