Welcome! edit

Hello, Shereemartin2010, and welcome to Wikipedia! 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. 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:

October 2019 edit

  Hello, I'm Jerm. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Eyenovia have been disallowed by an edit filter because they did not appear constructive. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page, which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Also feel free to ask for assistance at the Help Desk whenever you like to. Thank you. Jerm (talk) 16:00, 3 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Eyenovia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Directly editing pages you are paid for edit

As your edits are disruptive and promotional you are no longer to edit the pages directly and only to make suggestions on the talk page. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

I am not paid to do this (although now I wish I was!). This is not my company. Is there someone that can help me get it edited? Can I send someone a word doc with the info on it?

Please help as I need to get this page updated asap.

Thank you!,

There are no deadlines here, and Wikipedia has no interest in any deadlines imposed on you. So you are just writing for this company out of the goodness of your heart for free? You must declare the exact nature of your conflict of interest. You won't be able to post what the company wants to say about itself here, they should do that on their own website. If you have content that independent reliable sources has written, you may make an edit request, as described below.331dot (talk) 19:32, 3 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Shereemartin2010. 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 (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 18:21, 3 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
