Re: ATR
[edit]Hi, You are obviously involved with the 'ATR Group', and as your adding it, it is a conflict of interest.
As per:
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:
- editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
- and you must always:
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.
Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked without further warning.
For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you.
Microsoft, for example, have gotten into trouble for a similar reason - Their employees editing their own pages...
For ATR, disambiguating pages is fine, but you just recreated the article by copying it. Meaning the edit history was lost from that page, and it was disconnected from its talk page. There was no need to change that to a redirect, it already had the correct {{otheruses}} to link to the disambiguation
It would be fair enough to add onto the disambiguation page if your company asserted no significance.
You were also just linking to redlink (non existant articles), which is just pointless.

- Before you create them, you may want to look at WP:Notability - As the articles you are creating, are likely to fall under non-notable companies. And also, the Conflict of interest, as above.
- I do have an interest in aviation, and i am not being biased saying it is like that. The article that uses the names first, generally gets to use it. In theory, shouldnt the disambiguation pages be there? But they are not, there under page (disambiguation).
- Another example, aviation again - A340 redirects to Airbus A340, which then has a link for A340 road. Im not 100% sure how the consensus for these things is sorted, but i think its based on what people are most likely to be looking for.
