Welcome!

Hello, Kcavendish, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Sources and external links

Please do not add external URLs to the body of articles. For sources, this guide will help you learn how to format them as references. Schazjmd (talk) 17:31, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New Vista Capital

I noticed that all of your edits involve including mentions of New Vista Capital. Are you connected to that company in any way? Schazjmd (talk) 17:34, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

After your most recent edit, I suspect that you are editing on behalf of New Vista Capital or on behalf of individuals associated with that company. Wikipedia has guidance for editors with a conflict-of-interest and for editors who are paid for their edits. I will add a template below so you can read and follow the guidance for conflict-of-interest. Also, please read and comply with WP:UPE, if applicable.

You are correct, I am an intern at New Vista. We noticed that a few of our advisors do not have linkedin profiles and therefore wanted to make sure that their bios were updated. I tried to cite every addition I made, so that it was biased or unfounded. Kcavendish (talk) 21:51, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The links and advice below definitely apply to your situation, so please read them. The best way to make changes to articles related to New Vista is to make an edit request on the article's talk page: clearly state the content that you think should be added or changed and include the source to support the change. Other editors will review the request and make the edit if it meets Wikipedia guidelines.

Your attempt to remove negative information at Dennis Muilenburg was inappropriate. If you think that it's not properly sourced or not significant enough to include, you can make that argument on the article's talk page and see if you can reach consensus with other editors. If you have any questions, you can ask me here (I'll watch this page) or you can post at WP:TEAHOUSE where you can get advice from other editors. Schazjmd (talk) 22:20, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kcavendish. 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, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
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. Schazjmd (talk) 17:45, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
