Creating articles that read like advertisements is not allowed. Sentences such as "We transform your virtual world to reality" read like a brochure, not an encyclopedia article. Furthermore, creating a page about your company is a blatant conflict of interest and is usually frowned upon. Veinor (talk to me) 16:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


IS there a way to put our name (Diyi technology) on Wikipedia without violating any rules??

Question

Good Afternoon, I added an entry about Warranty Direct yesterday (5/21/07) and it was removed. The entry was created by following the format of other entries such as General Motors and Circuit City. I did not use any links, websites or phone numbers so it would not be construed as a form as advertising. Could you provide insight as to how it should be submitted. Regards, Chris

I would recommend that you not create the article. Your username (which you need to change before somebody blocks you for violating the username policy) makes it obvious you have a conflict of interest with Warranty Direct. Furthermore, the article was indeed advertising; sentences such as "You will find their auto warranties to offer the most comprehensive coverage available with one of the shortest list of exclusions in the industry" are inappropriate. Also, several passages or sentences seemed to be copied straight out of this site, this one, and other pages on the warrantydirect.com domain. Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted content unless the author is willing to release it under the GFDL, which allows (among other things) arbitrary redistribution and commercial use without royalties.

Scottish Terrier Edit

Hi you removed my external link to a new site with daily Scottish Terrier news. You said it was unencyclopedic and referred me to a reference page on external links, but the reference page does not use the word "unencyclopedic."

At this point, I am interested in two things:

1. Restoring the link, which I believe meets the criteria for an external link and

2. Interviewing you for an article I am writing on crowdsourcing. You seem to have an interesting profile and I am intrigued by the role you play here at Wikipedia. Boisblaireau 20:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I couldn't reply on my talk page; I had to protect it from editing for a while. At this point, I would like to point you to the section of the external link guidelines entitled "Links normally to be avoided", specifically item 11: "Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority.". I don't think that the blog was written by a recognized authority.
Regarding the interview: That would depend on how much information I have to give out. If it's Wikipedia-related stuff like how long I've been editing, what motivated me to become an admin, that's OK. Name, phone number, definitely not. I like my privacy.
