Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Taylor VoucherCodes. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 18:53, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of VoucherCodes


A tag has been placed on VoucherCodes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. – Athaenara ✉  00:42, 19 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I would add that press releases and routine business announcements are not acceptable for establishing notability; Wikipedia is only interested in what independent sources have chosen on their own to write about a subject. Again, please see WP:ORG. 331dot (talk) 10:06, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi 331dot. Please explain how the pages like MyVoucherCodes are allowed to remain on the site when ours isn't. From what I can see their content is identical. Is this simply because of who posted the page? TaylorJ1294 (talk) 10:13, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * That's part of it. You have a conflict of interest and are probably a paid editor.(please review those links) That page may also likely not be appropriate as well, thanks for pointing it out. It is generally not valid to cite other similar articles as a reason for your own to exist, see WP:OSE.  Other similar articles existing does not automatically mean yours can exist too.  Each article is judged on its own merits.  My 331dot Auto Company that I just created does not merit an article because Ford Motor Company merits one.  Not every company merits an article here, even within the same field. One company in a field can meet the special definition of notability we have while another does not.   331dot (talk) 10:29, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I would add that this is a volunteer project, and as such it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. 331dot (talk) 10:29, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * VoucherCodes has a backlink profile containing examples of thousands of independent, respected news sources (both British and international) speaking in detail about the company. Does this not merit notability?
 * I don't know what a 'backlink profile' is, but I do know that the sources in the article were not appropriate as they were just routine business announcements or press releases, as I stated. If this 'backlink profile' contains more similar sources, those aren't acceptable either. This is all sorta beside the point as you aren't going to be unblocked to edit about your company. If you want to edit about other subjects, please proceed as I state above. 331dot (talk) 11:18, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * If the subject meets WP:CORP you should be able to cite content directly to reliable, independent sources.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Yamla I'm saying that yes, I will try to publish that page again, however I will continue to make contributions to other pages across Wikipedia. The company page that I'm aiming to publish contains no advertorial or promotional messaging and I have a list of references that should allow it to pass the notability criteria. It will not be damaging or disruptive to the project, and I will leave it relatively bare when published to allow other users to edit it as they see fit (if that will help). TaylorJ1294 (talk) 13:59, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You can't keep other users from editing any article you create, even if you wanted to. You don't seem to understand that merely telling about your company is considered promotional. You don't have to be selling something or actively soliciting customers. I highly doubt any administrator will unblock you without you agreeing to not edit about your company, at least for the time being.  331dot (talk) 14:03, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 331dot That's exactly the part I don't understand and I can't seem to find anywhere on any of the pages explaining why that is the case. If there is nothing promotional or specifically written in order to solicit customers, and I can prove the notability of the company itself, what is the difference between me writing a page for it and somebody that doesn't work for them? TaylorJ1294 (talk) 14:06, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The difference is your conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself(or its representative).  Per WP:COI: "Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest. That someone has a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgement about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith.  COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. It undermines public confidence and risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and companies being promoted. Editors with a COI are sometimes unaware of whether or how much it has influenced their editing."
 * Wikipedia wants people who are here to be general contributors, not advocate for a particular company. If you want to be a general contributor, you will need to tell what other subjects you want to edit about.  You might (emphasis on might, it's not guaranteed) be later permitted to make edit requests and use Articles for Creation to indirectly contribute about your company, but to have any chance at that you would need to show that you have been a good general contributor and edited properly.  I would say it would need to be six months to a year of edits unrelated to your company or conflict of interest(including your field in general) before you could appeal that restriction- but if you choose to make another request, the reviewer will determine that. 331dot (talk) 14:15, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
