About editing on behalf of a company you work for

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. DuncanHill (talk) 16:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your recent additions on the talk page. At first glance the content seems fine however in order for this article to stand for any length of time it requires independent third party sources to support the statements made. Other then a Forbes article I see that the annual report is sourced. Any facts that are not supported by sources should be deleted. This page provides some good information: WP:PROVEIT. Do you have any other independent sources? GtstrickyTalk or C 17:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The new sources help. GtstrickyTalk or C 14:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Chef Roland Henin 2007.jpg

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Chef Roland Henin 2007.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 17:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help

{{helpme}} I am interested in posting a box, similar to the one that Aramark has on its Wikipedia page, on Delaware North Companies Wiki page....how do I do this?

If you are talking about the box in the upper right corner of Aramark, that is called an infobox, which is a table to present summary information. The article on Aramark is using a company infobox, from Template:Infobox Company. That page has information on how to create an infobox for a company with examples.
If you are talking about a different box, please let me know and I will try to answer any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 14:13, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
