[edit]Hello, AmmanAlSalt123, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Ford Motor Company
[edit]
Hello, I'm Jay8g. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Ford Motor Company have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. :Jay8g [V•T•E] 17:24, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- A couple more comments. Firstly, all claims must have a supporting reference from a reliable source in the article - see WP:FACT and WP:RS. Putting vague mentions of the source in the edit summary is useless because somebody reading it in 10 years will not be able to find your edit summary. A reference in the article itself (see the
<ref>...</ref>tags in other sections of the article) allows anybody to double check things at anytime in the the future. The reference should point directly to whatever report (with a page number if the report is long), to make fact checking easier. Secondly, many of the claims you put in are about environmental issues and not directly about electric vehicles. They would be better in an environmental section. Thirdly, any company can claim long term goals over 10 years away as a way to look good without actually doing anything today. When the time arrives they hope that everybody forgot about it. Long term goals are almost always just wishful thinking. Short term goals are much more appropriate. Fourthly, beware of MOS:PEACOCK terms that overly praise a company while also ignoring things they do wrong. Stepho talk 01:23, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
