Hi ColinBrownRDA, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that this sentence was copied word for word from the press release you cited. Wikipedia does not copy sentences from press releases because of issues with promotional wording, stylistic clash with Wikipedia's prose, and to ensure that all of Wikipedia's text can be freely redistributed under a Creative Commons license. Can you rewrite this sentence in your own words? And please post future edit requests at Talk:Hudson Technologies – it's more likely to get the attention of editors there. Thanks!

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, ColinBrownRDA. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Draft:Red-D-Arc Welderentals, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Domdeparis (talk) 08:34, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
