Welcome!

Hello, Charleslizymoresearch, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Charleslizymoresearch/sandbox, which 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.

Hi,

Thank you for your message. Based on your suggestions, I would appreciate it if you could review the article and advise on how we can ensure it complies with Wikipedia's guidelines. I have already requested a username change. Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be addressed at this time.

Hi @Drm310, Just checking in to see if you've had a chance to read my message. Happy to learn more about what needs to be done to get the Wikipedia page launched. Charlesliqwerty (talk) 19:05, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

I never saw your reply until now. I can inform you now that a company doesn't get to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. All topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to merit inclusion. In the specific case of a company, it must meet the notability criteria for companies and organizations. For this to happen, the company must have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself, as this is an inherent conflict of interest.

This is what makes it so difficult for someone in your position. Basically you have to forget everything you know about your own company, and form an article based solely on what third-party sources - with no personal, political or financial interest in your company - have chosen on their own to publish about it. If there is not a sufficient number of those sources with a sufficiently significant depth of coverage, then your company simply isn't notable enough for inclusion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:23, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
