I'd appreciate it if you didn't remove important information that contractors will find useful - with no encouragement to use our service. As a provider, we are responsible for sharing knowledge and helping people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atrodden1990 (talkcontribs)

@Atrodden1990: Wikipedia has no interest in what a company or its representatives want to say about themselves. Companies have to be notable, as Wikipedia defines it, to be included here. That means that they have to have already earned significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. Primary sources like a company website are allowable to provide basic facts and figures (eg. locations, number of employees, annual sales, etc.) but will not count toward establishing notability. Self-published sources like press releases, social media and other company-authored material is not acceptable, nor is the unpublished personal knowledge or experience of an editor. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:18, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Kleuske. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Umbrella company, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Atrodden1990. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Umbrella company, 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Given your message on my TP, you seem to be associated with the firm you cited. I removed it since it’s a commercial site with a vested interest and hence not reliable.

Information icon Hello, I'm Kleuske. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Umbrella company have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Umbrella company. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:20, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
