Thank you!


 * You've committed a few violations here:
 * Your username is the same as the company, which is not allowed under Wikipedia's username policy. Accounts can represent only individuals, and can never be shared. You must request a change of username to remedy this, otherwise your account will be blocked on these grounds.
 * If you are employed by the company you're writing about, or doing so on their behalf and being compensated for it, you are required to disclose this fact per Wikipedia's terms of use.
 * Writing about your own company is considered a conflict of interest. While not prohibited, it is highly discouraged because it's reasonable to assume that an editor involved with the company will not be able to write in an objective manner.
 * Articles about companies must meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines to be considered worthy of inclusion. This means that the company must notable according to significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the company.
 * Company-supplied material such as press releases are not considered reliable sources and will not count toward establishing notability.
 * Copyrighted material that is either directly copied or closely paraphrased won't be accepted. You can't use copyrighted material, even if you are its holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place, as detailed in Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Praiseworthy phrases like "one of the leading commercial real estate finance companies" and "built upon a rich history of representing the nation's premier owners" is subjective and not neutral. Language like that reveals promotional intent.
 * In summary - don't write about yourself, your employer, or any topic where you have a close personal or professional connection. Detailed explanations are available in Wikipedia's conflict of interest guide and FAQ/Organizations. --Drm310 (talk) 16:43, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:48, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia Assistance Needed
Good Afternoon,

Can you please advise me of how companies launch Wikipedia pages if they do not draft the content? Do outside users draft the content? We are trying to determine how to get a Wikipedia page created that includes content we wish to have online that is similar to our website so that it's consistent. Please advise on how other companies do this.

Thank you, Walker & Dunlop
 * In the case, please familiarize yourself with how editing works and when you've looked at Your first article and WP:REFB, use WP:AFC so third-party users like myself can review before accepting it. Please note, however, that copyvios and still promotional content will not be accepted. If you have more questions, visit your welcome links above or ask me at my talk page. Cheers!

Assistance Needed
Assistance needed in creating Company Page

Please help me with...

Good Morning...Can you please advise me of how companies launch Wikipedia pages if they do not draft the content? Do outside users draft the content? We are trying to determine how to get a Wikipedia page created that includes content we wish to have online that is similar to our website so that it's consistent. Please advise on how other companies do this. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I guess the main question is are companies creating these pages? Or are Wikipedia users creating Company pages on their behalf?

If possible, can someone please call me to discuss: 301-202-3264.

Thank you, Walker & Dunlop - Donna
