Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Mayariebel/sandbox
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Mayariebel/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. --TheImaCow (talk) 11:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Mayariebel. 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, colleagues, 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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:56, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not sure quite what you are trying to do since I deleted your sandbox which appeared to be on the same topic. Theoretically, you should seek approval for every edit, but if your changes are minor or uncontroversial, you will probably be OK. Some comments on Imerys, which I'm now watchlising
- Not a good idea to list the board members etc by name, unless they have their own articles here, otherwise will soon be out of date. You give financials in the infobox, should be in the text with their refs too. Employee numbers are unsourced
- the product use section is unsourced and promotional in tone eg contribute essential properties to customers’ products and their performance
- A separate awards section is a sure sign of paid editing
- Use more wikilinks
- The tone is promotional, I'm going to go through and remove opinions and promo shortly Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:53, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
- I made these edits, some formatting, but mainly toning down. Not sure what you are asking abut formatting and referencing. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:10, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Your edit to Imerys has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
On talk pages, you can use {{reflist-talk}} to show references since the most recent use of <references />
, {{reflist}}, {{reflist-talk}}, or any similar "reference-listing" template. I have done this for you on Talk:Imerys.[1] davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 23:42, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
Did you get the "notification"?
Wikipedia has a notification mechanism. If your preferences are set right, you should have received a notification when I made this edit to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies § Imerys because I included a template, {{U}}, that triggered a notification. Did you get the notification?
On an unrelated matter, when I rolled back the financials to the 2018 levels because there wasn't a reference for 2019's numbers, I deliberately didn't go back and use the 2019 financial report to update them.[2] Assuming someone else doesn't do it first, this would be a good chance make a simple, non-controversial {{requested edit}} that is almost certain to be honored. On the other hand, if the 2020 numbers are due out in the next few months, there's no real harm leaving the 2018 numbers there since they are clearly labeled with the year. Assuming nobody else makes the edit first, it's your call. I did see that some quarterly reports for 2020 are out, that kind of thing generally falls under the "too much detail, leave it out of the article entirely" category unless it's "notable in and of itself" or it related to or reflects a huge change to the company's structure or finances. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 19:06, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hello - not sure if I got the notification - but I did just go look. I'll check my settings.
- You're right in assuming there will be more asks, as I won't be the only COI on this project and others will take on the project in the future.
- I'll resubmit the sections asap for cleaner sections.
